Time doesn't flow linearly but is constructed by our brain. Our perception of time is individual and depends on factors like emotions, concentration, and experiences. Time flies during joyful moments but seems to stretch during boredom or anxiety.

The author connects the climate crisis to our experience of time, suggesting that the increasing unpredictability and threat of climate change leads to a feeling of acceleration and uncertainty about the future.

The book presents concrete strategies for positively influencing our time experience and shaping our future through mindfulness, conscious planning, and focusing on the present to escape time pressure and increase productivity.
