Book Reviews of The Time Paradox: The New Psychology of Time That Will Change Your Life
Book Review: Zimbardo
Summary: 4 Stars
Philip Zimbardo has been influencing the way I think about life for many, many years now. I originally discovered him on PBS psychology specials long ago and was fascinated by what he had to say back then and still today. He's one of those people you discover in a lifetime, that draws your attention whenever he decides to pop out and have something to say. He doesn't do it often, but when he does, I want to hear it and I wasn't disappointed. He has such a wonderful, clear way of speaking and explaining complex concepts that gives you the opportunity to have your own opinion, because you now understand what you're talking about. I believe that this is the reason for my fondness of him and his work, whether I ultimately end up agreeing with what he has said is often irrelevant because his goal seems to be to teach me something, not to preach to me. I appreciate that so much in a writer/scientist. Compare this to a political speech where the goal is to convince you of something and if anything keep you from understanding. I find myself drawn to Mr. Zimbardo because he's always attempting to educate me and/or open my mind to alternate perspectives as opposed to selling me or feeding his own ego. I trust his motives. In this book, once again, he does exactly that. I can't recall ever having thought about "time" psychologically before. So whether you agree with everything he says or you don't, as stated, becomes irrelevant because the beauty of the book is that instead of feeding you all the tired old recycled pop-psychology that we are used to getting from the wave of pop-psy books that have flooded the market, we get a really nice original subject to ponder.
An honorable and thought provoking piece of work once again from Mr. Zimbardo. (My apologies to Mr. Boyd, at this time I'm unfamiliar with his work, but if he's hangin' with PZ he must be quite useful (:
