This book explains how we perceive time (lots of quotes from literature, poetry, and philosophy) and what science knows and doesn't know about time. It is a thin book, and it is precisely and beautifully written. It is meant for a regular person to be able to read and understand.

I did not understand most of the non poetry parts (i.e. the science parts) but I think I could if I saw some visuals... maybe on youtube? I really gave it a try though, listening to some passages multiple times. Bennedict Cumberbatch reads the audio in a very soothing voice so I didn't mind listening even when I didn't understand what he was telling me. I wonder if I could understand the author's other book: Seven Brief Lessons on Physics.
