The Time Paradox - The New Psychology of Time That Will Change Your Life (Paperback): Philip Zimbardo, John Boyd The Time Paradox - The New Psychology of Time That Will Change Your Life (Paperback)

Your every significant choice -- every important decision you make -- is determined by a force operating deep inside your mind: your perspective on time -- your internal, personal time zone. This is the most influential force in your life, yet you are virtually unaware of it. Once you become aware of your personal time zone, you can begin to see and manage your life in exciting new ways.

In "The Time Paradox, " Drs. Zimbardo and Boyd draw on thirty years of pioneering research to reveal, for the first time, how your individual time perspective shapes your life and is shaped by the world around you. Further, they demonstrate that your and every other individual's time zones interact to create national cultures, economics, and personal destinies.

You will discover what time zone you live in through Drs. Zimbardo and Boyd's revolutionary tests. Ask yourself:

- Does the smell of fresh-baked cookies bring you back to your childhood?

- Do you believe that nothing will ever change in your world?

- Do you believe that the present encompasses all and the future and past are mere abstractions?

- Do you wear a watch, balance your checkbook, and make to-do lists -- every day?

- Do you believe that life on earth is merely preparation for life after death?

- Do you ruminate over failed relationships?

- Are you the life of every party -- always late, always laughing, and always broke?

These statements are representative of the seven most common ways people relate to time, each of which, in its extreme, creates benefits and pitfalls. "The Time Paradox" is a practical plan for optimizing your blend of time perspectives so you get the utmost out of every minute in your personal and professional life as well as a fascinating commentary about the power and paradoxes of time in the modern world.

No matter your time perspective, you experience these paradoxes. Only by understanding this new psychological science of time zones will you be able to overcome the mental biases that keep you too attached to the past, too focused on immediate gratification, or unhealthily obsessed with future goals. Time passes no matter what you do -- it's up to you to spend it wisely and enjoy it well. Here's how.

"Umfassend, bewundernswert klar und ein wirkliches Lesevergnugen." "Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Autor von "Der schwarze Schwan""

Ein Buch zur rechten Zeit

Fast jede wichtige Entscheidung, die wir in unserem Leben treffen, wird von einer Kraft beeinflusst, die tief in unserer Psyche verankert ist: von unserer individuellen Zeitperspektive unserer personlichen inneren Zeitzone. So wirksam diese Kraft ist, so wenig sind wir uns ihr gewohnlich bewusst. Doch sobald wir unsere Zeitperspektive erkennen, sind wir in der Lage, sie zu verandern und zu einem glucklicheren und erfullteren Leben zu gelangen.

Dies ist ein bahnbrechendes Buch uber die neue Psychologie der Zeit. Philip Zimbardo, einer der einflussreichsten Psychologen der Gegenwart, und sein Forschungskollege John Boyd erlautern darin nicht nur, wie unterschiedlich Menschen sich im Netzwerk von Gegenwart, Vergangenheit und Zukunft positionieren und wie sich diese individuelle Zeitperspektive auf ihr Denken und Handeln auswirkt. Sie bieten ihren Lesern auch konkrete Hilfen an, die eigene Zeitorientierung wahrzunehmen und zu verandern.

" Das Buch] macht deutlich, dass jeder von uns eine einzigartige Zeitpersonlichkeit besitzt. Manche Menschen neigen dazu, hedonistisch ganz im Jetzt zu leben, andere sind von vergangenem Kummer oder von Zukunftsplanen geleitet. Das Buch enthalt einen Fragebogen, mit dem Sie Ihre eigene Zeitzone bestimmen konnen, und Anregungen, um deren Vorzuge und Fallstricke zu erkunden alles mit dem Ziel, Ihnen zu helfen, aus "Ihrer" Zeit das meiste zu machen." "O, The Oprah Magazine"

"_____"

Die angesehenen Psychologen Philip Zimbardo und John Boyd haben 30 Jahre Pionierarbeit in der Zeitforschung geleistet. Mit diesem Buch wenden sie sich nun erstmals an eine breite Offentlichkeit. "Die neue Psychologie der Zeit" verknupft wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und Alltagspsychologie, Ratgeber und sozialen Kommentar. Und es zeigt auf, wie die alles durchdringende und machtvolle, aber bislang wenig bekannte Rolle unserer Orientierung in der Zeit sowohl die Motivationslage des Einzelnen als auch die Eigenheiten ganzer Nationen beeinflusst.

Zimbardo und Boyd haben zahlreiche Fragen entwickelt, deren Beantwortung unsere personliche Zeitperspektive offenbart, beispielsweise: Bringt der Duft frisch gebackener Weihnachtsplatzchen Sie in Ihre Kindheit zuruck?Glauben Sie, dass sich in der Welt eigentlich nichts wirklich andert?Haben Sie das Gefuhl, die Gegenwart sei einzig entscheidend und die Zukunft und Vergangenheit seien eher reine Abstraktionen?Tragen Sie eine Uhr, prufen Sie Ihre Kontobewegungen und erstellen Sie To-Do-Listen jeden Tag?Glauben Sie, die Existenz auf Erden sei lediglich die Vorbereitung fur das Leben nach dem Tod?Grubeln Sie uber gescheiterte Beziehungen?Sind Sie der Mittelpunkt jeder Party immer zu spat, immer gut drauf und immer pleite?

Testen Sie sich in diesem Buch selbst Welche der sieben moglichen Zeitperspektiven nehmen Sie in welchem Masse ein? Welche Vorteile oder Nachteile erwachsen Ihnen daraus? Zimbardo und Boyd erklaren dem Leser, wie er seine eigene Einschatzung der Zeit erkennen und wie er verschobene Wahrnehmungen uberwinden kann, die ihn entweder zu sehr in der Vergangenheit leben, zu stark auf unmittelbare Belohnungen warten oder in ungesunder Weise auf Zukunftsziele fixiert sein lassen.
