Time
Time is the one thing that is shared by all of humanity, irrespective of wealth, health, race or credo; and one of the things that makes us individual is how we choose to spend it. It is one of the commodities over which we have most control, yet it is the asset we value the least. Isn't it time we took control over how we spend it, while we still can?

Whether you want the encouragement to take time out on a life-scale or simply adjust your life to accommodate a timetable that suits you, this book will have plenty of inspiration, suggestions and tips to help you get the most out of your time.

Starts off really strong - the discussion around time as a universal currency that we choose how to spend and exploring the roots of measuring it was fascinating - but trails off too heavily into mindfulness, justified by the focus of ‘being in the present moment’, too much for my liking.

5 stars for the hardback cover / 1 star for content.
This book deserves a review. The hardback cover looks classy and enticing on the bookshelf of the bookstore . . . and that's where it should have stayed.
To be fair the first few pages were promising but the downhill slide was continuous and unending from there on in. The book was indeed about time, a complete waste of time, there was no purpose, meaning or flow.
People buy books because the author has an original take on a topic and will add value to the reader. In this instance it was like the author ran out of ideas after the first few pages and resorted to typing "Time" into Google and inserting a random Quote on one page and a couple of random paragraphs on the other. Actually, instead of buying this book I guarantee you will have a far more satisfying experience Googling "Time" for half an hour. The results will be far more informative and your money will still be in your pocket.
At one desperate point when all out of ideas the author asks, "several people to write something about their experience of time". Only one responded, but it managed to fill another page and a half.
In fact, out of 218 pages, at least 113, (I counted) are at least 50% blank. Many have only a single, short random quote. So more than 52% of the book is . . . . . blank paper !
This book will not remain on my bookshelf; neither will I inflict it on a friend.....straight to the charity shop or I might use it as a notepad given all the blank paper it contains. This book has taught me that my time is valuable and in future I will not suffer to the end of a book where the author clearly lost interest in writing it long before I picked it up.
To finish on a positive . . . anyone wondering whether they have what it takes to become a published author . . . . read this book, you will be convinced you can do better.
