Interesting take on the questions of time. If you've wondered about what prompted someone to start counting time for the first time, to create the notion of measurable time, how the concept of time took over the lives of men and women, how none of the other species seem affected by time the way we see it (d-uh!) and finally why time always seems like its in short supply - take this book up. It'll help you pause and ponder what you're doing with the time that you have. Easy read for even the less reflective among us.
I read this in a place close to Auroville. Somehow it seemed more apt than if I had read this in a bustling city. Would recommend it when you have the time to ponder and maybe write your own notes around the book, or the concept of time.
