The Time Paradox
Everyone leans habitually toward past, present or future, and it shapes more than they notice.
Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd argue that each person carries a habitual orientation toward time — past, present or future — and that this shapes health, work, relationships and even national culture, largely without being noticed. The research is theirs, and the practical claim is that the orientation can be adjusted once seen.

Profound idea that everyone has a primary time focus, either Future-focused, Present-focused, or Past-focused. Fascinating implications of each. Because I’m so future-focused, reading this book helped me understand people who are very present-focused. Also great advice on shifting your focus when needed.
