Excellent where the author sticks to his guns: neuroscience and psychology. But the excursions into physics and philosophy are shallow at times and not always correct. Ultimately, the book doesn't deliver on its goal to create a unified view of the perception of time. It could have been a much better book if the author focussed on neuroscience. Despite this worthwhile reading.

5/5 - an utterly fascinating and well-researched exploration of the intersection between neuroscience, physics, and the enigmatic concept of time, written with humor and precision.

Tell me why the acknowledgments of this book made me emotional.
A fantastic introduction to the science and theories behind time, with amazingly well thought out examples and diagrams. Truly was a pleasure to read!

The parts that got really in the weeds with the neuroscience were rough on me, but otherwise, there is a lot of really enjoyable stuff in here.

I had a fucking spiritual experience reading this book. It’s SO GOOD. You know those teachers who know their shit & are so passionate that they make you love the topic, too? That’s this book. It is very science and math heavy and not what I would call a popular science book, but I like my non-fiction like this. Understanding how my brain perceives time soothed me more than anything else has in a long while. I can’t explain it, really, but the concepts changed my life. Goddamn!

It's a very dry read. I know it's a science book, but I prefer a more engaging voice when discussing scientific concepts.
