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? & is it possible to retrain our brains & improve our relationship with it? Drawing on the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience & biology, & using original research on the way memory shapes our understanding of time, the acclaimed writer & broadcaster Claudia Hammond delves into the mysteries of time perception. Along the way, Claudia introduces us to an extraordinary array of 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.
