The Time Paradox: The New Psychology of Time That Will Change Your Life

The social psychology of time?

Author Stanford University Social Psychologist Dr. Philip Zimbardo and Dr. John Boyd have 4.4 out of 5 stars (with 326 reviews).

Our every significant choice -- every important decision we make -- is determined by a force operating deep inside our mind: our perspective on time -- our internal, personal time zone.

This is the most influential force in our life, yet we are virtually unaware of it. Once we become aware of our personal time zone, we can begin to see and manage our life in exciting new ways.

Be Here Now (Dr. Ram Dass, Ph.D.)

In The Time Paradox, Dr. Zimbardo and Dr. Boyd draw on 30 years of pioneering research to reveal, for the first time, how our individual time perspective shapes our life and is shaped by the world around us.

Further, they demonstrate that our and every other individual's time zones interact to create national cultures, economics, and personal destinies.

No matter our time perspective, we experience these paradoxes. Only by understanding this new psychological science of time zones will we be able to overcome the mental biases that keep us too attached to the past, too focused on immediate gratification, or unhealthily obsessed with future goals.

Time passes no matter what we do; it's up to us to spend it wisely and enjoy it well. More
