Time is relative, situation-dependent, location- and
culturally-dependent, and very much subjective. Yet we treat it as
if it were objective. We share standardized time, and we are
dependent on it for almost everything we do. When it comes to
waking up, business meetings, transportation, finding your way via
GPS, seeing friends, watching a show, we are all dependent on a
standardized notion of time and time measurement. The future gives
us hope and deadlines drive innovation and productivity. Time
drives us forward and we talk about time - all the time! The word
"time" is the most used noun in English, followed by "year" in
third place and "day" in fifth. We are obsessed with it, for a lot
of very good and practical reasons. The book looks at time through
different perspectives (ranging from physics, history, philosophy,
anthropology to art, business & politics, biology and
psychology). The author's aim is to bring us closer to the nature
and our experience of time by looking at it from different lenses
to improve our understanding of what time is and what it is not -
and to use that knowledge to improve how we organize ourselves
around time. It's by better understanding time's nature and
experience that we can keep the positive and productive elements of
time and get rid of the unhealthy time practices in our lives.
