About this product

Product Information

Why does time seem to speed up as we get older? Steve Taylor's genre-busting, gripping book explores this all-too-familiar question Why does time seem to drag when we are bored or in pain, or to go slowly when we are in unfamiliar environments? Why does it slow down dramatically in accidents and emergency situations, when sportspeople are in the zone, or in higher states of consciousness? Making Time explains why we have these different perceptions of time. It puts forward five basic laws of psychological time and uncovers the factors which cause them. It uses evidence from modern physics and unusual states of consciousness to suggest that our normal sense of time is an illusion, created by our minds. On a practical level, this book also shows us what we can do to control our sense of time passing, to make it pass slowly or quickly in different situations. It suggests that it is possible for us to live through more time in our lives, and so effectively increase the amount of time which we are alive for. Finally using insights from Buddhism to show how we can live fully in the present moment, Steve Taylor's brilliant book will astound all who read it.

'In what is both a practical manual and a text-book of psychology, [Steve Taylor] illustrates that time itself is in some senses an illusion determined by circumstances such as our age, our boredom threshold, and our childlike eagerness for exciting things. It is possible to alter our perceptions in order to make time pass quickly or slowly, just as we wish, and Taylor shows how it can be done.', 'Have you ever wished there were more hours in the day? In what is both a practical manual and a textbook of psychology, he illustrates that time itself is in some sense an illusion... It is possible to alter our perceptions in order to make time pass quickly or slowly and Taylor shows how it can be done' Good Book Guide 'Taylor explores these ideas in an entirely accessible and engaging way. Time you read it' The Crack, 'Provocative and freewheeling, wilfully unscientific without ever dabbling in pseudoscience, this book will really start you thinking about how you can try to be free.', 'Raising some fasinating questions about the nature of time and answering them admirably, this book will grab your attention, befuddle you slightly and leave you feeling invigorated with a new perspective, if not thoroughly enlightened. Using both psychological and physical science Taylor explores these ideas in an entirely accessible and engaging way, leading the reader calmly through a tangle of theory and philosophy. Time you read it.'

Time Flies
I have been curious about this topic for some time now. Forever annoyed at my perspective of time passing quickly or slowly. And now as I approach 45 years old, it is just moving more quickly whether I'm busy, bored, happy, in pain or otherwise. This author delves into some of the psychological reasons why it's happening. Glad I'm not alone.
