This chapter explores the subjective experience of time speeding up with age, using the example of how a year is a larger portion of a five-year-old's life than a fifty-year-old's life. It also discusses how the perception of time changes throughout life stages, from childhood to adulthood.
Time perception is relative to age.
Younger people perceive time as slower because a year represents a larger portion of their lives.
Longer breaks like summer vacation felt longer in childhood.
