Product Description

Why does time seem to speed up as we get older? Why does it seem to drag when we're bored or in pain, or to go slowly when we're in unfamiliar environments? 

Making Time explains why we have these different perceptions of time, suggesting that there are five basic 'laws' of psychological time & uncovering the factors that cause them. 

It uses evidence from modern physics & unusual states of consciousness to suggest that our normal sense of time is an illusion, 'created' by our minds. 

But perhaps more importantly, on a practical level, this book shows us what we can do to control our sense of time passing, to make it pass slowly or quickly in different situations. 

It suggests that it is possible for us to live through more time in our lives, & so effectively increase the amount of time that we are alive for.
