Secret Pulse of Time Making Sense of Life's Scarcest Commodity

- Popular science at its very best: The Secret Pulse of Time spans a wide array of disciplines--brain physiology, social psychology, philosophy, and Einsteinian physics, among many other realms--all with the goal of answering fundamental questions about time: Why does time fly when we are happy? Why do minutes pass so slowly when we are waiting impatiently? How can we truly appreciate the present moment despite leading overextended lives? - Something we've never had before-"operating instructions" showing us how best and most efficiently to understand and use time: Award-winning science writer Stefan Klein brings a journalist's eye for detail to illuminate the highways and by ways of time--always with the goal of guiding us to better master time (and to understand why we so often fail to do so). Woven into his narrative are dozens of ways to do just this, including: how to no lose your head when a deadline is quickly approaching; how the present becomes a memory, and vice versa; how to attune to your inner clock for more productive, satisfying days; and how to prevent each days' fast tempo from having a detrimental effect on your overall enjoyment of life. - Already a major bestseller in Germany--the latest from the internationally best-selling journalist: The German edition, published in fall 206, has sold more than 60,000 copies in Germany and has been a top-25 bestseller ever since. Klein's previous The Science of Happiness spent three years on bestseller lists in Germany, its country of origin, and went on to publication in 28 countries; our trade paper edition has sold more than 10,000 copies.Klein, Stefan is the author of 'Secret Pulse of Time Making Sense of Life's Scarcest Commodity', published 2007 under ISBN 9781600940170 and ISBN 160094017X.
