A Library Journal Best Book of the Year

This is the First Paradox of Time: Your Attitudes Toward Time have a profound impact on your life and world, yet you seldom recognize them. But now this revolutionary guide for living in the twenty-first century, The Time Paradox, shows you how to discover your individual relationship with time and gives you new ways to understand and work with your past, present, and future to improve your life. Written by one of the most influential living psychologists, Dr. Phil Zimbardo, and his research partner, Dr. John Boyd, The Time Paradox makes available for the first time the landmark Time Perspective Inventory, which you can use to assess your own time perspective and its strengths and weaknesses. You will learn new ways to work with your time perspective in order to resolve family conflicts, enhance your sexuality and sensuality, and become more successful in business and happier in your life. This new psychological science of time will help you overcome the mental biases that keep you attached to the past, addicted to immediate gratification, or unhealthily obsessed with future goals. Time passes no matter what you do-it's up to you to spend it wisely and enjoy it well. Here's how.
