We live as if time is always slipping away. Days compress, obligations multiply, and urgency becomes the atmosphere we inhabit. The Time We Don't Have is a philosophical meditation on the acceleration of life, the logic of productivity, and the erosion of interiority. Without nostalgia or comfort, the book explores time scarcity as a shared human condition, exposing the functional chronology that has replaced lived time. Across forty fragments, it proposes a deceleration that is not technical but existential — an invitation to presence, to listening, and to inhabiting what remains outside control.
