Time, it has been said, is the enemy. In an era of harried lives,
time seems increasingly precious as hours and days telescope and
our lives often seem to be flitting past. And yet, at other times,
the minutes drag on, each tick of the clock excruciatingly drawn
out. What explains this seeming paradox? Based upon a full decade's
empirical research, Michael G. Flaherty's new book offers
remarkable insights on this most universal human experience.
Flaherty surveys hundreds of individuals of all ages in an attempt
to ascertain how such phenomena as suffering, violence, danger,
boredom, exhilaration, concentration, shock, and novelty influence
our perception of time. Their stories make for intriguing reading,
by turns familiar and exotic, mundane and dramatic, horrific and
funny. A qualitative and quantitative tour de force, A Watched Pot
presents what may well be the first fully integrated theory of time
and will be of interest to scientists, humanists, social scientists
and the educated public alike. A Choice Outstanding Academic Book.
