The Jeffrey Van Dyk Show | Episode 27

What is Time? Are you really short on it? How science can help you change your relationship with time, with Jeffrey Van Dyk & Colin Stuart

I’ve always been fascinated by the nature of TIME. What is it? Does it even exist? How can a new understanding of time help leaders get off the treadmill of constant quest to succeed? And what about connecting with loved ones who have passed? Are we really doing that when we feel our ancestors are near?

This week’s episode is a little different for me because I’m not talking with a spiritual teacher about these things – I’m talking with celebrated astronomer, Colin Stuart, an expert on the science of time. Colin has this amazing superpower of making complex concepts simple and easy to understand, especially for a science novice like me. Colin’s nineteen books have sold over 400,000 copies worldwide and been translated into 21 languages. His latest book, TIME: 10 things you should know, explores the physics of time.
