Our Sense of Time Is Distorted shows you how to take control of the one thing you can't stop but can reshape: how time feels. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and practical life design, this book reveals why the days blur, why years speed up as you age, and—most importantly—how to reclaim your hours so every day feels complete, every week memorable, and every year rich with life.
You'll learn how to anchor your days with simple sensory and emotional practices that make them unforgettable, break free from routines that erase time from memory, and weave in novelty, depth, and reflection to stretch your perception of life. You'll discover how to align your schedule with your body's natural rhythms, build seasonal and yearly rituals that give your life shape, and create a Legacy Timeline that turns the future into a path of purpose instead of a countdown.
By the time you finish, you won't just understand why time feels like it's racing—you'll have the tools to make it slow down, not on the clock, but in your experience and memory. Time will stop feeling like an enemy pulling you forward and start becoming a companion, carrying you through a life you're fully living, moment by moment, year by year.
