Über diesen Titel

What if the present moment – the ‘now’ we all inhabit – isn’t just a tick of the clock?

We feel that the present is everything; all we can know. Yet physics finds no universal ’now’. To explore what a moment really is, In Search of Now draws on state-of-the-art discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, cosmology and quantum physics, revealing a dynamic, creative process in which we all play a part.

Jo Marchant shows how we each carve out our lived experience – sensations and emotions, actions and decisions – through our interactions with the world. Far from being an illusion or a mere slice of time, she argues that this evolving, interconnected tapestry is the source of our lives and selves, and perhaps even reality itself.

Join Jo to explore the secrets of how our lives really unfold – and rediscover the creative power of ‘now’.

Effortlessly weaving together fascinating insights from physics, philosophy and neuroscience, In Search of Now is an engrossing and thought-provoking exploration of the most mysterious, and most precious, of all things: our ever-changing moment-to-moment experience (KIERAN FOX)
