The Time of Your Lives

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 2, 2014

Today’s show is a family meeting all about time. How there’s never enough of it. Why it sometimes seems to fly by, and why we’re always so, so busy. Radiolab’s Robert Krulwich explains how we perceive it. Plus: time management expert Julie Morgenstern teaches us how to manage time effectively and mindfully; a look at the intersection of time and labor; and Barnard physics professor Janna Levin explains how astrophysicists describe time. (This special show on time first aired on December 3, 2014 and an edited version of the entire show was re-aired on December 31, 2015.)
