Illustrated throughout with a glossary, suggested further reading and index. The keen student is sure to find topics of interest for further study.

Time is more valuable than diamonds - yet often seen as a treadmill rather than a rainbow. Yet, this elusive force is inseparable from human happiness & well-being. These monologues form a practical philosophy to deepen your relationship with Time. Gift it to a frazzled friend or loved one - mug of hot chocolate, glass of wine, relax and read. Life will never be the same..
