Read by the author, Chris Guillebeau.

'A wealth of insanely useful advice' – Cal Newport, bestselling author of Deep Work

Break free from deadline dread and time guilt with this powerful guide on how to regain control of your time and your life – from the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup.


Swamped with endless notifications and growing to-do lists, we all feel the pressure of a culture that prizes being busy over being present. This ‘time anxiety’ isn't just for the overly ambitious – it’s a daily reality for parents juggling work and family, students trying to balance grades and health and anyone feeling the pinch to make every moment count.

In Time Anxiety, New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau offers actionable advice, personal anecdotes and philosophical reflections that empower readers to break free from the cycle of time-related stress. Weaving together eye-opening research on time perception, executive function and avoidance, he offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock.

Time Anxiety is the essential guide for anyone looking to escape the constant pressure of doing more and, instead, focus on being more.
