Exploring the inconvenience of time

In many parts of the world, people find themselves trapped in cycles of business. Our lives are full to the brim and we're finding ourselves endlessly busy - suffering from an epidemic of time poverty. We have more time-saving devices than ever, but what happens to all of that time we save? There is no giant clock in the universe, and yet so many of us shape our lives around time - a concept that is an agreement, not a law. How much is time a state of mind? And what happens when we start to think about different states of time, such as slow time, deep time and long time? In this week's conversation, we unravel our relationship with time: the rush to do more, the stories we tell about our place in time and what happens when we start to slow down; exploring how reclaiming time might just be the most radical act of all.In this podcast we reference the following:How to have the time of your life - Martin Boroson (Ted Talk)Deep Time Walk (app and immersive walk)Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - Flow States (website)Falling in love with the world - Two Inconvenient Women (podcast)The Long Time Project - Ella Saltmarshe (website / podcast) Hosted on Acast.
