Why Fast Is GoodSlow gets all the buzz. But fast is better. So we asked tabloid legend Bonnie Fuller to defend it – and found eight fast trends that are improving the way you live. The conclusion: A high-speed life puts the world at your fingertips.
I thrive on the fact that my job is fast-paced. Our readers are fast. They used to be satisfied with monthly magazines. Now they demand weeklies. They’re turning constantly to our website. People want entertainment faster all the time and are dialing up news, music, TV and movies on their cellphones. You can be sitting on a bus and have that instant gratification. I enjoy the challenge of being able to give it to them fast. As the world becomes faster, we get spoiled and impatient. As people get used to living this way, it becomes the norm and we expect it. I like to be efficient. I like to get to the point. I’m not big on slow talkers. I mean, who wants to sit in a slow meeting? I believe you get a lot of joy out of a multifaceted life. Constant stimulation keeps us fresh and full of ideas. New pop culture, new music, new philosophies, new shoes – all give me energy. I’m not afraid of fast. Fast is interesting. If I had to live somewhere that didn’t value that, it would feel like life had lost its energy.  Bonnie Fuller is the chief editorial director of American Media (publisher of Star and The National Enquirer) and the former editor of Us Weekly, Cosmopolitan and Flare. She’s also the author of the bestselling book The Joys of Much Too Much: Go for the Big Life – the Great Career, the Perfect Guy, and Everything Else You’ve Ever Wanted. |
