Time Expansion Experiences: The Psychology of Time Perception and the Illusion of Linear Time
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, and in this book he shares his years of research into this life-changing phenomenon.


Most of us will have experienced a TEE, an experience of time slowing down in an extreme situation, and yet it is a phenomenon that has never been fully explored or explained - until now.

Psychologist Dr. Steve Taylor has spent several years analysing “time expansion experiences” (or TEEs), after collecting hundreds of reports. He has also found many examples of "time cessation experiences" (or TCEs), in which time appears to disappear altogether. In this 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. In this ground-breaking book, discover 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?

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"A mind-expanding and deeply researched exploration of those moments when time slows down or stands still, and the tantalizing implications they might have for the nature of reality."
Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks

"An absolutely essential read for anyone interested in understanding how our grasp of time is linked to the deeper meaning of our existence. Once more, Steve Taylor being the game changing author he is, has written a time travelling psycho-spiritual classic."
– Theresa Cheung, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Dream Dictionary from A to Z (Thorsons) and The Premonition Code with Dr Mossbridge (Watkins)

"This fascinating book brings together years of research and expertise, throwing brilliant new light on the mystery of time. Highly recommended read for those interested in unusual states of consciousness such as Near-Death Experiences and psychedelics."
– Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, NDE-researcher, author of Consciousness beyond Life one

“If you don't have time right now to read this book, that's okay, because as Dr. Steve Taylor discusses in detail, we know that our minds construct the flow of time, so you actually have all the time in the world. But when you do find (or construct) some free time, I highly recommend that you use it to read this well researched and fascinating work."
Dean Radin, PhD, Chief Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences

"In this wonderful, well researched, and lively book . . . Taylor reveals the inherent timelessness that is an inner strength of our core self."
– Tobi Zausner, PhD, LCSW, author of The Creative Trance: Altered States of Consciousness and the Creative Process

"This exciting and mind-opening book explores many facets of the role time plays in understanding the nature of self and of your relationship with the universe at large, and how you can improve your life by actively exploring your perception of the passage of time — by becoming more aware of its variable modes of expression. Highly recommended!"
– Eben Alexander, MD. Former Harvard Neurosurgeon and author of Proof of Heaven, The Map of Heaven, and Living in a Mindful Universe

"A compelling read featuring many experiences that readers will be able to relate to. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in altered states of consciousness. You'll find that time will fly as soon as you begin reading page one."
– Dr Penny Sartori, author of The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences

“A meticulously researched exploration of the common but poorly understood experience of time seeming to expand in extreme circumstances. Taylor explores what these experiences mean not just for the neuropsychology of our perception of time, but for the very nature of time itself and for the physics of the universe. Few books this easy to read will blow your mind as this one does.”
Bruce Greyson, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Virginia, and author of After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond
