Synopsis

Have you had any of these thoughts in the past week?

I wish I had more time.

I don't have time for that.

I'm running out of time.

This is a waste of time.

This is taking too much time.

I need more time.

Sound familiar? For most of us, juggling too much to do with not enough time in which to do it is a painful, exhausting reality. But out of the cacophony of conflicting advice on scheduling and multi-tasking emerges a resonant voice that goes to the root of our problem with time and offers a fascinating new solution. In this revolutionary book, George Lawrence-Ell looks past superficial approaches to time management and illuminates the very essence of what time is and how we actually experience it. With questions and illustrations as a guide, he takes us on a scintillating journey through our assumptions about clock time, how we actually feel time pass, and ultimately leads us to a practical model we can all use to become time's master instead of its slave.

About this title

About the Author

George Lawrence-Ell, author of The Invisible Clock and creator of the Human Intelligence in the 21st Century Seminar series, exemplifies his own work on time and timing. His career has been synchronized with some of the most prominent events shaping the world for the past 30 years.

In the 1970s, when the oil-rich Middle Eastern economies were booming, Lawrence-Ell, author of The Arab League 1947-1967, left the routine of a teaching position at a big ten American university in exchange for hands-on experience in the rapidly changing economies of Saudi Arabia and Iran. He managed various projects with Fortune 500 companies in the region from 1973 to 1981.

In the early 1980s, as the bull market gripped the U.S., Lawrence-Ell returned to America. As a certified financial planner and registered investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, he managed over $100 million.

Then in 1991, he was once again at the right place at the right time as the exciting rebirth of capitalism engulfed Eastern Europe. Lawrence-Ell founded ADMARK, a company that created a powerful distribution network in the former Soviet Bloc, as cited in The U.S. Embassy Commercial Report on Hungary, 1998. ADMARK worked alongside multinationals like Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, and Colgate Palmolive.

As the 20th century drew to a close, Lawrence-Ell lived and worked in Vienna, a city renowned for its intellectual and scientific accomplishments. There he designed and wrote the Human Intelligence in the 21st Century Seminar Series, and defined the 12 principles outlined in the Extraordinary Mind seminar that form the basis of his work.

Lawrence-Ell has recently returned to the U.S. to launch his book The Invisible Clock, A practical revolution in finding time for everyone and everything published November 2001.
