So, yeah, I’m disappointed but I’m not angry.
Seriously, I lost count of how often I asked that question, because I really did not want to know about the things being presented to me it did not spark my curiosity and it definitely does not fall under the things that I find interesting to begin with. I did not come for talks on watches and how pricey a watch can be, or movies and arts, and, of all things, self-help books.įortunately, the author’s witty writing kept me reading this book, even when I asked myself, “why am I reading about this?”
Instead of getting answers or at least some discussions on the question posed as the sub title of the book, I was presented with endless amount of talks about watch, movies, and self-help books. If time was agreed upon to help and assist humans in their daily lives, why did it cripple us so with thoughts that 24 hours a day is not enough? I was at a time where I felt suffocated because I felt like time was chasing me from the moment I woke up to the moment I’m about to go to sleep. Literally, that was the one reason why I was drawn to this book. Title: Timekeepers: How the World Became Obsessed With TimeĬall me ignorant, but with a sub title, “How the world became obsessed with time,” you would’ve expected that the book actually addresses the question or at least attempts to answer the said question in the book, right? Alas, I’ve spent roughly two weeks reading this book and I kept asking, “when will I ever know how the world became obsessed with time?”
