Thomas Friedman: Thank You For Being Late

In his forthcoming book "Thank You for Being Late," New York Times columnist and three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman examines the dizzying acceleration of the modern world. Driven by technological transformations and economic interdependency, the 21st century requires nations and individuals to be fast, innovative, and quick to adapt. At the same time, he argues, we need to be fair and learn how to be slow-shutting out the noise and accessing our deepest values.
This annual lecture recognizes the significant contributions to the Chicago Humanities Festival made by its founder and chairman emeritus Richard J. Franke.
