The Hidden Cost of Hustle Culture | Carl Honore & Shekhar Natarajan

What if the biggest challenge of our generation isn't a lack of time but our obsession with speed? In this thought-provoking episode of Tomorrow Today, host Shekhar Natarajan sits down with internationally acclaimed journalist, bestselling author, and pioneer of the global Slow Movement, Carl Honore, to explore why modern life has become a relentless race and why slowing down may be one of the most powerful decisions we can make. Together, they unpack the psychology behind hustle culture, burnout, digital distraction, parenting, leadership, technology, creativity, and the growing pressure to always stay busy. Carl shares the deeply personal experience that transformed his life, the philosophy behind the Slow Movement, and why true productivity isn't about doing more it's about doing what matters, at the right pace. This conversation isn't an argument against ambition. It's an invitation to rethink how we define success, balance, and a life well lived. Whether you're an entrepreneur, leader, professional, student, parent, or simply someone feeling overwhelmed by the pace of modern life, this episode offers timeless wisdom that will change how you think about time itself.
