Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Subtitled, "Why Time Seems To Pass At Different Speeds & How To Control It". A genre-defying book with a similar appeal to Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink" or "Freakonomics". Blending accessible psychological insight with self-help guidance, it uses evidence from modern physics and explains how to use Buddhist teachings to control our perception of time.

Publisher's description:

Why does time seem to drag when we're bored or in pain, or to go slowly when we're in unfamiliar environments? Why does it slow down dramatically in accidents and emergency situations, when sportspeople are 'in the zone', or in higher states of consciousness? This book explains why we have these different perceptions of time.
