It has a lot of information, trying to explain time, and how the brain understand it requires to tackle different subjects: neuroscience, physics, biology, philosophy, psychology... If you are looking for answers this is not for you. If you are looking for knowledge and to learn new things, this is the right book.

This is a more holistic view of time, covering the history of timekeeping, the neuroscience and psychology of time, the biology of timekeeping, as well as the physics of time. This broad overview brings the various strands together. Well written and enjoyable.

Excellent where the author sticks to his guns: neuroscience and psychology. But the excursions into physics and philosophy are shallow at times and not always correct. Ultimately, the book doesn't deliver on its goal to create a unified view of the perception of time. It could have been a much better book if the author focussed on neuroscience. Despite this worthwhile reading.
