Book Club: The Order Of Time - If All You Have Is Time, How Do You Use It Wisely?

It's book club time, and we're reading The Order of Time, by Carlo Rovelli... This week the book review reaches its climax, the end of time, the end of the book... What have you learnt about time? The lack of time, quantum time, and how do you use what time you have wisely? Benjamin Franklin said, "once you lose it, you’ll never find it again." Theophrastrus said, "it was the most valuable thing you can spend." Pericles said it was "the wisest counsellor of all." Oscar Wilde said "punctuality steals it away." Turns out they were all wrong. Ladies and gentlemen, Albert Einstein: “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Or, “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.” Isaac Newton said, “Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.” Aristotle said, “Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.” Time really is all we have. And in this months book club, we're talking about it in more detail than we ever thought possible. We're reading: - The Order of Time, by Carlo Rovelli. Please Enjoy The Book. =============================== Praise For The Order Of Time Philip Pullman: "Wonderful... Time is something we know about instinctively, here Carlo shows how profoundly strange it is." John Banville: "Physics has found its poet."

**Special Guest** Don Norman: Humanity Centered Design

Don Norman's seminal work, “The Design of Everyday Things,” explores how design serves as a communication channel between object and user. His insights into making technology more user-friendly and intuitive have revolutionized how we interact with everyday objects. His latest book, “Design for a Better World,” continues Don's story, focusing on what he feels he ''left out" of Design For Everyday Things: Humanity. In Design For A Better World: Meaningful, sustainable, and humanity-centered design, Norman challenges us to rethink our behaviours and the economic metrics that drive commerce and manufacturing, advocating for a world that emphasizes quality of life over monetary rewards. Don Norman’s influence extends beyond his writing. He is the director of The Design Lab at the University of California, San Diego, and a co-founder of the Nielsen Norman Group.
