The Power of Time Perception
by Jean Paul Zogby
Time Lighthouse Publishing
'The Power of Time Perception' is a counter proposal to the idea of time flying by, delving into the nature of how the brain perceives time's passage, how emotions or life experiences alter the experience of time, and how personal reality and time can both be altered through a series of techniques that anyone can master.
Introductory chapters covering psychology, neuroscience, and how time perceptions can be distorted or altered accompany later discussions that narrow the focus to how to better live in the moment, how to encourage mindfulness and a better sense of 'flow' in one's life and everyday experiences, and how to apply diet, exercise, and other changes to better manage time.
Many books discuss time management; but few discuss the nature of the time being managed, or the mechanics of how to alter it. Fewer yet include a range of psychological reflections for introverts and extroverts alike, discussions of personal choices in how to spend time, or tips on how to handle memories and aging brains that perceive time as 'slipping away'.
Readers who anticipate a self-help approach or time management guide alone may be surprised and initially stymied by the healthy dose of supporting science and psychology behind these suggestions; but given how many lighter (and less informative) approaches are on the market, it's pleasing to see a book that intermingles self-help with science and delves into specifics at points where too many others would generalize.
The result is no light discussion, but an in-depth read that pairs insights on evolutionary processes and the latest research with pointers on how readers can make the most out of time.
This is the 'next level' time management book many have been looking for: a concrete approach that pairs insights on time perception with tips on how to alter and better handle time's challenges.
