Mojo is defined as a quality that attracts people to you and makes you successful and full of energy. Award winning journalist, Carl Honoré challenges in his book In Praise of Slowness, that today’s culture has us living on the edge of exhaustion and constantly reminded by our bodies and minds that the pace of life is spinning out of control. He asserts that a Slow revolution is taking place. People all over the world are reclaiming their time and slowing down their pace -- living happier, healthier, and productive lives. Slow is their mojo.
