review 1: This wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I was hoping for a psychological look at time (why does time slow down when we're bored, how dwelling on the past can influence the present, etc.), and there was some of that. Mostly, though, it turned out to be a self-help book. It did make me realize something about myself, but the realization depressed me even more than usual, so I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
review 2: This topic is definitely a wonderful addition to positive psychology and should absolutely be given more attention and more sophisticated research. I might even say that it's my favorite topic within positive psychology thus far.Overall, after finishing this book, I felt very similar to the many positive psych books I’ve read: S... moreome great points and some less than great points. Important subject matter and overall philosophy, but less than satisfactory empirical data along with authors/researchers far too eager to popularize their theory and generalize it across the board as a solution into almost ever one of life’s predicaments.Also, the book could have been half the length it was. And I was more than a little disturbed to find the authors quoting Dr. Phil, even if in jest. Sadly, they may be considering their target audience. less
