Saving Time tugs at the seams of reality as we know it. The way we experience time itself and rearrange it. Imagine a world not centred on work, the office clock, or the profit motive. If we can "save" time by imagining a life, identity, and source of meaning outside these things, time might also save us.

While this book might be thought of as self-help, it's so much more. The author talks about time, the world around us, and how we can change our lives by rethinking time as we've known it. I am the first to admit that I can not focus on one thing, and feel like I’m always on the search for something and have to be doing three things at once because I’m wasting time. What a delight this book is in teaching us how to slow down and whether we really are wasting time, who defines what time is and why do we think we are wasting it?

The E-Book could be improved and more user-friendly, such as links to the chapters, no significant gaps between words and a cover for the book would be better. It is very document-like instead of a book. A star has been deducted because of this.

This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and I would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.
