Publisher's Summary

Your every significant choice - every important decision you make - is determined by a force operating deep inside your mind: your perspective on time - your internal, personal time zone. This is the most influential force in your life, yet you are virtually unaware of it. Once you become aware of your personal time zone, you can begin to see and manage your life in exciting new ways.

In The Time Paradox, Drs. Zimbardo and Boyd draw on 30 years of pioneering research to reveal, for the first time, how your individual time perspective shapes your life and is shaped by the world around you. Further, they demonstrate that your and every other individual's time zones interact to create national cultures, economics, and personal destinies.

No matter your time perspective, you experience these paradoxes. Only by understanding this new psychological science of time zones will you be able to overcome the mental biases that keep you too attached to the past, too focused on immediate gratification, or unhealthily obsessed with future goals. Time passes no matter what you do - it's up to you to spend it wisely and enjoy it well.

Interesting way to look at time

I really liked the information written in this book it has completely changed how I look at time and being someone who is always planning goals it has helped me understand myself and others. I gave it only 4 stars because the book has many cultural examples and descriptions of ideas from other religions but the way it is written shows that the writers do not have broad cultural views and have mostly done research on time perspective through books and science but not through travelling and understanding other cultures and religions. Apart from that that book is great.
