Andrew Huberman · Huberman Lab · Jun 2026 Why people recommend it
The Secret Pulse of Time by Stefan Klein is an engaging exploration of human time perception, examining how the mind experiences, distorts, and measures the passage of time. Andrew Huberman frequently recommended and referenced the book across several episodes of Huberman Lab. During live event questions and specialized conversations about mental frames, daily actions, and coping with grief, loss, and the dying process, Huberman told his audience about this wonderful resource. He noted that the book offers incredible detail on why time feels as though it speeds up or slows down depending on circumstances, emotional states, and cognitive focus. When discussing the neurology and psychology of time perception with guests or live attendees, Huberman frequently pointed listeners toward Klein's work as a primary source for further reading. By integrating mentions of the book into discussions on mental health, grief recovery, and personal productivity, the host highlighted how deeply our subjective experience of time governs our emotional well-being and daily decision-making processes. The repeated endorsements established the text as an invaluable guide for understanding human consciousness.
