Jenny Odell Saving Time

We're living on the wrong clock. Now is our moment to rethink. In this provocative follow-up to How to Do Nothing, Jenny Odell challenges our cultural obsession with productivity. Drawing on philosophy, ecology and art, Saving Time argues that time is not money – it’s life itself. Odell explores how the ‘clock of capitalism’ dictates our days and disconnects us from natural rhythms, proposing instead a more humane, ecological understanding of time rooted in seasons, community and care. This Sunday Times-bestselling thinker offers both critique and comfort, inviting readers to pause, breathe and imagine freer ways of living. ‘To read it is ... to experience how freedom might feel’ Oliver Burkeman ‘Expect to feel changed by this radical way of seeing’ Esquire
