Franz J. Schweifer Ach du liebe Zeit

About this book deutsch english

“Ach du liebe Zeit!” Who is not familiar with this popular lament - so frequently heard, thought and uttered, often with a sigh. And increasingly accompanied by an almost obsessive restlessness, oscillating between pleasure and pain: “No time!”

While we feel almost irresistibly, magically attracted by a life on the fast lane with a full appointment calendar, ever more our driven, fast-paced contemporaries also experience a painful and frustrating sense of being caught in a time deprivation trap from which it seems impossible to escape.

To put it in a nutshell: The time-related contradictions and dilemmas are growing - as does the longing for “more time.”

Franz J. Schweifer, time researcher and philosopher (“temposopher”) examines the background and origins of the time dilemma and offers concrete exit strategies. He provides exercises and examples, aphorisms as well as unconventional, temposophic reflections. Practical. To the point. Critical. An extraordinary book on time.

Following two previous time research publications on top management level (2011, 2012), this book completes what is essentially a “time trilogy” – this time not focussing on a particular professional group, but devoted to “all of us who rush through time in search of lost time.”
