Addie embraces the feeling of helping to slow time down, by always looking for new experiences and working to be mindfully present as Taylor discusses. Why does time sometimes seem to pass too slowly and others times too quickly and how can we control our perception of time? The Conversation, a nonprofit, independent news organizatio, shared Feel like time is flying? Here’s how to slow it down by Steve Taylor, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, Leeds Beckett University. This may be a good article to get you thinking about the length of life and the quality of life.
Emanuel writes in the Atlantic about why he wants to live to 75. Two extremes of length of life are contrasted between Henry’s year and Addie’s infinite lifeline. Eric Kim shares one very short blog on one perspective on wanting to be remembered. Leaving a mark, being remembered is an central theme to the novel. I recommend reading the book before the guide. Note that this guide, like all of the guides, may contain spoilers. While not a time-travel book per say, it could certainly make a good read for a group focused on that genre. There is so much depth to the novel, including the timeless theme of human love alongside leaving our legacy, our mark on the world. While an exceptionally long book, I loved the stunning writing and the incredibly creative storyline.
