TIME ANXIETY

Chris Guillebeau

The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live

A powerful antidote to deadline dread, time guilt, and chronic rushing.
After building a thriving career as an entrepreneurship coach, Chris noticed many of his followers were struggling to manage the internal side effects of success. His early writing on time anxiety received a tremendous response from readers ready to reevaluate their relationship with productivity culture and overwork. In Time Anxiety, Chris reveals that this pervasive sense of time scarcity stems not from a lack of hours in the day but from unrealistic expectations and misaligned priorities. Weaving together eye-opening research on time perception, executive functioning challenges, and the psychological roots of avoidance, he offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock.
