Time flies. Time drags. Time vanishes when you're absorbed and stretches when you're afraid. But why?

In The Feeling of Now, Marcus Veylan - author of the acclaimed Space Science Series - turns from the cosmos to consciousness, investigating the vast and surprising gap between the time that physics measures and the time the human mind actually experiences.

Drawing on Einstein's relativity, the neuroscience of the brain's distributed timekeeping systems, and decades of psychological research, Veylan reveals why fear makes time slow to a crawl, why flow states make hours vanish, why life accelerates decade by decade, and why the present moment itself is not a point but a construction - assembled, second by second, by the brain.

Part physics, part neuroscience, part practical philosophy, The Feeling of Now is a book about the most intimate feature of conscious life: the sensation of being in time, and what it means that the mind makes it up as it goes along.
