Reseña del editor:

Have you ever tried to spend a day without looking at a clock or checking your watch? It's almost impossible. Time rules our lives, but how much do we understand about it? And is it possible to retrain our brains and improve our relationship with it? Drawing on the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and biology, and using original research on the way memory shapes our understanding of time, the acclaimed writer and broadcaster Claudia Hammond delves into the mysteries of time perception. Hammond won the British Psychological Society's Public Engagement and Media Award in 2012, given for making an outstanding contribution to raising the profile of psychology with the general public, and Mind's Making a Difference Award in 2011, given to those who set the agenda and initiate change in the field of mental health. She also lectures in psychology for Boston University.
