Why read it?
1 author picked Mindworks as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I moved to San Diego I began to get interested in time perception as well as the physics of time. My colleague Patrica Churchland kindly gave me this book to read. It’s a popular, accessible book on cognitive science and time perception. I couldn’t put it down. For sure it changed my academic path.

From Craig's list on time for people who love physics and deep thinking.
