Show 1
Slow Food Movement
The slow food movement aims to counteract fast food and life. It aims to reverse the disappearance of local food and tradition and re-ignite people's interest in food by looking at where it comes from, how it tastes, and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
Day in the Life of a Life Coach
How do we balance our lives? Let’s ask a professional. International author (The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari) and “success coach” Robin Sharma counsels businesses and CEOs (and anyone who wants to know) about how to get the most out of life. We’ll follow Robin as he counsels a client 15,000 feet up during an airplane ride, advises Canada’s local governments on how to de-stress their lives, contemplates writing a new book on a nature hike (he says most people get their best ideas out of the office) – all in time to pick his kids up from school. Colleen McEdwards reports.
Show 2
