Time Warped
Time Warped: Unlocking the Mysteries of Time Perception | Claudia Hammond
4 posts | 2 read | 7 to read
We are obsessed with time. However hard we might try, it is almost impossible to spend even one day without the marker of a clock. But how much do we understand about time, 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, acclaimed writer and broadcaster Claudia Hammond delves into the mysteries of time perception. Along the way, she introduces us to an extraordinary array of colourful characters willing to go to great lengths in the interests of research, such as the French speleologist Michel, who spends two months in an ice cave in complete darkness. Time Warped shows us how to manage our time more efficiently, speed time up and slow it down at will, plan for the future with more accuracy, and, ultimately, use the warping of time to our own advantage.

Hey there, #LMPBC team! I am victim of a time warp! Through NO fault of the book (just work and family commitments), it took me forever to read Resistance but I‘m almost halfway through To Night Owl and I just received that (lots of waiting in doctor‘s offices)! May has been absolutely insane for me this year, 😱😱😱 to say the least!!! I will have both books out in the mail by Monday! I will post a spoiler free review of both this weekend!

LibrarianRyan I compliantly understand. And it took me a bit to get through resistance as well 5y
MeganAnn I totally understand!! Life happens 😊 I‘m going to be away on vacation the first two weeks of June, but I‘ll get started on Resistance as soon as I get back. 5y

Day 12 - #timewarp #musicalnewyear

It's astounding - Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely - not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the time warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me - The void would be calling
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on hips
You bring your knees in tight

cathysaid Holy flashbacks!!! 5y
kspenmoll Flashbacks for me too in a dark cellar college theater! @cathysaid 5y
Cinfhen Yup!!! 5y
vivastory I think I'll watch this today. 5y

Pickpick

TR: There tends to be a lot of overlap between books when it comes to reading pop psychology, but Time Warped offers something different. It is narrow in focus yet broad in scope, examining time perception, the idea that the experience of time is created by our minds—that time is weirdly elastic.

Sydsavvy I've had this in my kindle forever. Must read. 8y
Mystic.Archives.Of.Dantalian @Sydsavvy as soon as possible 😉 8y
Sydsavvy Ok! At the beach! 😊🏖 8y
