She shows us how to manage time more efficiently, why speeds up as you get older and, ultimately, how to use the warping of time to our own advantage. This lively introduction to the psychology of time perception is an intriguing take on the fluidity of reality. Drawing on the latest research from psychology, neuroscience and biology, award-winning BBC Radio4 presenter Claudia Hammond delves into the mysteries of time perception. Along the way, readers are introduced to curious characters like Bob Petrella, whose hyperthymesia makes it impossible to forget anything, and Michel Siffre, a French speleologist who spent months living underground to determine whether humans have an internal clock.
As such, Hammond explores how time perception (or "mind time") is "elastic" investigates the various ways in which people conceive of time in spatial terms and examines the various causes for the experience of distended or contracted time depression, ADHD, chemical processes in the brain, and even temperature can fool us into the belief that time is speeding up or slowing down.

Focusing on the experience of time rather than its "objective reality," the award-winning science writer and BBC broadcaster demonstrates how the timely coordination of brain, nerves, and muscles is essential for everything from reading time tables to understanding spoken language. In Time Warped, Claudia Hammond offers insight into how to manage our time more efficiently, how to speed time up and slow it down at will, how to plan for the. Whether you conceive of time as a "breeze" or a "crushing weight," Hammond's book is worth yours.
