Psychologist Philip Zimbardo's latest book is about time. You might know his name, he is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University and he received worldwide fame for a social experiment he conducted in the early 70s, dubbed the Lucifer Effect. In this experiment students were randomly assigned the roles of prisoners or guards to explore the nature of human good and evil.

His new book is called The Time Paradox and it examines the differing perspectives people have on time.
