Product Description

Review
"Stephan Rechtschaffen elegantly demonstrates that by learning to make conscious decisions in present-centered awareness, we can create joy in our lives and become masters of our own destiny. Highly recommended."
--Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success"
"Stephan Rechtschaffen offers an original, transformative message of vital significance to our lives and these times."
--Daniel Goleman, M.D., author of "Emotional Intelligence"
"In our fast-paced, overscheduled world, we so easily lose touch with a capacity we all share, a capacity that should never be lost: the ability to live life to the fullest. By focusing on our experience of time, Stephan Rechtschaffen offers an unusually insightful, commonsense approach to recovering this priceless gift. --Jon Kabat-Zinn, Author of "Wherever You Go, There You Are"

Synopsis
A common-sense guide to living life to the fullest explains how people continually dwell on the past and future and offers exercises that demonstra how to focus on the present while finding time for everyday happiness.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Ideas (from other sources) rehashed to a prescription, 30 Sep 2001
By Patrick Merlevede (Lembeke, Vlaanderen (Belgium, Europe)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The basic message you find in Time Shifting and in similar books goes as follows: "Manage your life before someone else does!" Especially in a period where companies start firing thousands of people, ask yourself the question if you are living your life the way you want it. Working harder is no option: especially in the US, people have already been increasing their workload in the 1990's. Nobody seems to have time for the promised "leisure economy". Personally, I adhere to these messaged to some extent, but much depends on how they are formulated.

Somewhere in the book one can read that Rechtschaffen is a doctor. Generally, when one is ill it makes sense to see a doctor who prescribes what the patient needs. I don't know about you, but I don't need a prescription on how you have to organize.

Rechtschaffen just rehashes the ideas that many others have written about, including Steven Covey, Ram Dass, Daniel Goleman, Harville Hendrixs, Servan-Schreiber, Juliet Schor, ... and that training programs as EST have been training on for over 30 years. That would be defendable if his book would include the best of all these sources. Unfortunately, instead of explaining connecting principles to the reader, he gives you a weak decoction of these other books.

A book on this subject which has been a national bestseller is "Your Money or Your life", written in 1992 by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin...

5.0 out of 5 stars a new way of relating to time - with much less stress, 26 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This book has been a great gift - an extremely easy read, it has helped me to re-define my relationship to time. In a profound yet simple approach, I've found that being at the effect of time is a self-made prison - this book has helped me to be free. It's a great read.
