Author and organizational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy explores time as distance traveled rather than elapsed duration, showing that our time controls our lives.
"The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences." -Jean-Jacques Rousseau
What if we measured our entire lives as we measure light-years-as distance traveled rather than time elapsed? How would each day look, if rather than passing through 24 hours, we measured how far we moved that day? Twenty-four hours wouldn't mean anything. If we measured time as distance, on our deathbeds we could say, "It took me eighty years (or however long we lived) to get from point A (birth) to point B (the accumulation of life's experiences and meanings)." But what if we could find an alternative course that would get us from point A to point B in half that time?
What if we could leap through a wormhole and land at point B sometime shortly after point A? What would you do with the remaining time of your life? What if you could live and breathe every moment of your 80-year life in the first 25-thus extending your earthly possibilities by 55 years?
In this book, Dr. Hardy explains how time can be stretched and manipulated. A physics notion for this is wormholes, where you can "jump" from one place in spacetime to another, covering vast distances in a small amount of time.
