Radio host Hammond explores various phenomena related to the perception of time by drawing on research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and biology. She investigates why time seems to pass more quickly as one ages, and passes more slowly during fearful situations and/or following social rejection, and how subconscious time perception plays a critical role in everyday tasks. This is an ideal read for those looking for science-based theories of time perception without the scientific jargon, and will appeal to readers with a curiosity about the role of time in their everyday lives. Hammond suggests time perception is altered among individuals with depression or ADHD; this insight also makes the book valuable for psychologists and counselors. Managers or professionals concerned with time management will also benefit.
VERDICT Despite the common belief that time moves at a constant pace, Hammond demonstrates how life's circumstances can make minutes seem an eternity and decades the blink of an eye.
