Catherine Blyth Bücher

Wir leben länger als je zuvor und können dank immer neuer technischer Errungenschaften unvorstellbare Dinge realisieren. Aber warum mangelt es uns immer an Zeit? In 20 erhellenden Lektionen offenbart uns Catherine Blyth auf der Grundlage neuester Erkenntnisse aus Naturwissenschaft und Psychologie, warum uns die Zeit davonläuft, und gibt uns Instrumente an die Hand, um sie zurückzuholen. Warum vergeht Zeit immer dann am schnellsten, wenn wir uns Verlangsamung wünschen? Wie können wir unser Tempo beeinflussen und warum passiert es uns ständig, dass wir Zeit vergeuden oder falsch einschätzen? Aber wir können den Zeitfressern Einhalt gebieten, indem wir unsere innere Uhr neu einstellen, unseren Tagesablauf optimieren, uns am Augenblick erfreuen und die Langsamkeit entdecken. So lernen wir nicht nur, unsere Zeit zu genießen, sondern werden auch mehr erreichen. Catherine Blyth ist Autorin, Redakteurin und war auch schon journalistisch tätig.
