It’s not really about clocks; it’s about questioning the stories we’ve inherited about time and consciously, rebelliously, choosing our own path.We live in a culture that worships urgency. Like horses with blinders, we’re trained to look straight ahead—at deadlines, meetings, and to-do lists. This book invites us to lift those blinders and see what we’re missing: the colleague who has a sad look in their eye, the simple joy of a walk, the gift of a slow morning with loved ones, the stranger who needs help. Because sometimes being late is how we arrive on time for what truly matters.Drawing on stories from government, psychology, and everyday life, meditation teacher and writer Alex Snider offers a field guide for reclaiming your attention from urgency culture. This isn’t about hacks or time-management tricks. It’s about choosing presence over punctuality, kindness over checklists, and our humanity over the clock.ABOUT THE AUTHORAlex Snider is a writer, facilitator, and former government strategist who bridges the worlds of public service and mindfulness.
