Welcome to The Time Paradox, a book by Philip Zimbardo & John Boyd. The Time Paradox is not a single paradox but a series of paradoxes that shape our lives and our destinies. For example:
Paradox 1
Time is one of the most powerful influences on our thoughts, feelings, and actions, yet we are usually totally unaware of the effect of time in our lives.
Paradox 2
Each specific attitude toward time—or time perspective—is associated with numerous benefits, yet in excess each is associated with even greater costs.
Paradox 3
Individual attitudes toward time are learned through personal experience, yet collectively attitudes toward time influence national destinies.
