"The Time Paradox explores a very important topic from a fresh,
practical, and entertaining perspective. Since time is limited for
all of us, this book is well worth your time." -- Daniel Amen,
M.D., author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life and Healing the
Hardware of Your Soul
"The Time Paradox reveals how to better use your most irreplaceable
resource, based on solid science and timeless wisdom." -- Martin
Seligman, author of Authentic Happiness
"If you are a decision maker, then you need to read this book. It
informs about the central problem of how to discriminate between
immediate rewards and future payoffs. The Time Paradox is
comprehensive, admirably clear, and a delightful read." -- Nassim
Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan
"Informed by the world's foremost expert on the psychology of time,
The Time Paradox combines solid science, compelling stories, and
crisp prose to illuminate how time, like the oxygen we breathe,
pervades every aspect of our lives. Reading this book will yield
insights into your own motivation and behavior and help you be
happier, healthier, and more successful. It will also help you
understand the source of many of the world's greatest triumphs and
most pressing problems -- from terrorism to homelessness, from
religion to love, from the successes and failures of CEOs to those
of marriages. Zimbardo and Boyd have hit a home run." -- Sonja
Lyubomirsky, author of The How of Happiness
