Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock

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

We''re living on the wrong clock. And it''s destroying us.

Our life is dominated by the corporate clock that so many of us contort ourselves to fit inside. It wasn''t devised for people, but for profit. We need to embrace a whole new concept of time: one that gives us and our planet a brighter future.

In Saving Time, Jenny Odell, bestselling author of How to Do Nothing, examines how we got to the point where time became money. Taking inspiration from the pre-industrial, ecological and geological rhythms of our world, she offers us radical new models to live by that make a more humane, more hopeful existence seem possible.

Now is our moment to rethink. And if we do, time might just save us.
