The Meantime
A memoir on society's clock, the myth of falling behind, and finding peace while everything falls into place.
For anyone measuring their life against a clock they never chose to wind. The Meantime takes apart the myth of falling behind — weaving Stoic philosophy and the research on comparison and impermanence into a quiet, strategic case that the season you're in is temporary, already moving, and, in a time that isn't the clock's time, falling into place.
