Carl Honoré is a broadcaster, speaker and author. His 2004 Best-seller, "In Praise of Slow" prompted the Huffington Post to identify him as "the unofficial godfather of a growing cultural shift toward slowing down."

His latest book, "Bolder: Making the Most of our Longer Lives" is a lively and inspiring look at how our attitudes towards and ideas about ageing need to change and what might happen on both personal and social levels if we embrace growing older in a whole new way.
