Interesting talk. He clearly (explicitly and implicitly) wrote his book based on his personal experiences. I didn't read the book but from what I see in this talk it seems he needs to slow down more..he still seems quite a "rushoholic".

For deeper insights about speed and what it does to people, read Paul Virilio:
