Time Hacks

A practical investigation into the psychology of how we perceive time - and how to improve our relationship with it

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

We think of time as scarce and finite. We say we 'don't have enough time', that 'time is against us', and that 'time waits for no one'. But what if we could make time feel more abundant? How can we make time work for rather than against us?

In Time Hacks, Dr Ian Taylor - a world-leading expert in the science of the human mind - draws on the latest psychological research to reveal how we can develop a healthier relationship to time; one where we can break free of the cycle of boredom and mania, be more productive, and bring balance to all parts of our lives.

In the process, he demonstrates why all difficult tasks should be done early in the morning, the detrimental effects of relying on willpower, how to use 'be' goals to sustain motivation, and why we should all build 'dead' time into our schedules.

Fascinating and eye-opening, Time Hacks will show you how to use the power of psychology to feel less time pressured, boost your mental and physical health, and break free from the tyranny of your alarm clock.
