Psychologist Dr Steve Taylor shares his years of research into a life-changing phenomenon - the experience of time slowing down in an extreme situation. This is a phenomenon that has never been fully explored or explained - until now.

Have you ever been in an accident and felt that time slowed down? Have you felt time stretch radically, or even apparently disappear, in a state of deep meditation?

Psychologist Dr Steve Taylor calls these Time Expansion Experiences. His work is a fascinating, in-depth exploration of a phenomenon that most of us will have experienced and yet has rarely been researched or analysed.

Dr. Taylor sheds light on TEEs, having spent several years analysing these experiences, collecting hundreds of reports. He has also found many examples of "time cessation experiences" (or TCEs), in which time appears to disappear altogether. In his book he shares the fascinating psychology and shared features behind all of these case studies, coming to an incredible conclusion: TEEs are a real altered state of consciousness, rather than a trick of recollection. Not only this, but TEEs and TCEs are almost always positive, with a sense of calm well-being, clarity and heightened awareness.

His ground-breaking work has profound implications:

  • What do unusual states of consciousness such as mystical experiences, psychedelic experiences, and near-death experiences tell us about time and consciousness?
  • What can the countless reports of “life review” - when people view a whole lifetime of events and experiences within a few seconds - tell about the past, present and the future?
  • What does modern physics have to say about the idea that linear time is illusory?
  • If our perception of time is an illusion, is it possible to speed up and slow down time at will, including inducing TEEs?
