This book messed with my mind. That is to say, I now see things differently than I did before. The way I considered time before reading this book doesn't influence my consideration of time right now. Rather my consideration of time now shows how I considered time in the past. A total Mindf*** but seriously incredible and changing the perception of time for me. Great short read as these are ideas expressed in previous lectures by the author about time. Highly recommended if you're interested in philosophical matters.

“We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears.�
