There have been numerous books written on best to utilise the time at hand. But the broader question remains, why individuals sometimes knowingly and sometimes unknowingly let time slip without any reason. “Killing time” is a popular word coming from the west – and figures very closely with the lives of today’s youth and teenagers. Philip Zimbaro, professor emeritus at Stanford & Boyd University and research director at Yahoo, happens to offer an interesting insight into utilisation of time in our lives. The problems stems from the fact of how we view time while utilising it. Most of us are past-centric, present-oriented or future-focussed. All the three instances are hindrances towards, we giving the best in a given circumstance. Our judgement gets held up and psychic-pushes and pulls, sometimes takes its toll on the eventual result of the task at hand. Having spelt out the problem, the book seeks to break our biases and value-systems pertaining to time as a variable in our lives. The book delves into numerous examples and contexts which help us break the traditional contexts with which time is viewed through. Mr. Zimbaro makes his point through taking history, philosophy and even cosmology to make his point eloquent throughout the book.
