"...a fascinating foray into the idea that our experience of time is actively created by our own minds and how these sensations of what neuroscientists and psychologists call "mind time" are created." -- Maria Popova, BrainPickings

Drawing on the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and biology, writer and broadcaster Claudia Hammond explores the mysteries of our perception of time in her book Time Warped.

Why does life seem to speed up as we get older? Why does the clock in your head move at a different speed from the one on the wall? Why is it almost impossible to go a whole day without checking your watch? Is it possible to retrain our brains and improve our relationship with it?

In Time Warped, Claudia Hammond offers insight into how to manage our time more efficiently, how to speed time up and slow it down at will, how to plan for the future with more accuracy, and she teaches how to use the warping of time to our own benefit.

Industry Reviews
"...a fascinating foray into the idea that our experience of time is actively created by our own minds and how these sensations of what neuroscientists and psychologists call "mind time" are created."--Maria Popova, BrainPickings
"A well-researched meditation on how we see the future.... There's one great question of time, one which of course this book cannot answer, but on which it gives a great deal of much-needed perspective: 'How much do I have left?' "--Slate
"In Time Warped, Claudia Hammond... has a steady touch in conveying the research, adding user-friendly charm even to exhaustive descriptions of the mechanics of boredom. A chapter on visualization is particularly intriguing."--Jascha Hoffman, New York Times
"This is an ideal read for those looking for science-based theories of time perception without the scientific jargon.... 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."--Library Journal
"This lively introduction to the psychology of time perception is an intriguing take on the fluidity of reality."--Publishers Weekly
