After a few technical hiccups Brooke and Ben were finally able to record one of their live podcast recordings while on the Slow book tour, and today's episode was recorded live at Anderson's Bookshop near Chicago. 

The crowd was really engaged and Ben and Brooke had such a wonderful time talking about Slow, the practical realities of slow living and family life, their experience while travelling through the US and Canada for 8 months, and their plans for the future. 

They also talk about privilege and slow living, and why Brooke firmly believes that slow living will change the world - by helping people create space and time to care more. 

The live events have been such a highlight this year, and here's hoping 2019 brings more opportunity to get together with like-minded people! 

Enjoy!
