Swamped with endless notifications and growing to-do lists, we all feel the pressure of a culture that prizes being busy over being present.

In Time Anxiety, entrepreneur and self-help expert Chris Guillebeau offers actionable advice, personal anecdotes and philosophical reflections that empower readers to break free from the cycle of time-related stress. Weaving together eye-opening research on time perception, executive function and avoidance, he offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock.
