Description

In this episode of Everything’s Psychology, I sit down with Richard D. Gross, author of The Psychology of Time, to unpack how our minds construct the very thing we live inside of: time. From internal body clocks and ‘mind time’ to cultural attitudes and our awareness of mortality, we explore why time can race, crawl, or seem to stand still.

• You’ll learn why your brain is always half a second late, yet your experience still feels live and continuous.
• You’ll hear how extreme situations – from car crashes to psychedelic trips – can make seconds feel like minutes, and why the memory of an event, not the event itself, often stretches time.
• You’ll discover why age, culture, and even gender can reshape your sense of time – and what that means for how you plan and live your life.
