Slipstream Time Hacking: How to Cheat Time, Live More, And Enhance Happiness

I can’t believe how perfect this book is for channeling what’s really important about life. What the goal to life actually is! I’m completely changed by these perspectives.

This book was a page turner! I read it over the course of several days and throughly enjoyed its teachings. The time hacking concepts provided were totally foreign to me, and now that I’ve been exposed to the ideas of wormholes, slipstreams, invisible doors, etc.,it will be impossible for me to continue living as I have been. Just read this book already!

This book clarified my destination, wormholes I already have in my life and quickest way to get to a life that’s essential to me. This book is a slipstream in itself!

The book title caught my attention because, I am a vicious time hacker.I have, and this book only reinforces, hacked time at various time at all levels.Just like the author, I am not supposed to be where I am and doing what I do.But hacking time and slipstream plus the Wind of The Spirit of God have brought me this far.The depth of spiritual-faith insight of the author is, what made me pick up the book and read it all in two sessions. If you can believe what Ben shares, you can also experience the same and even more."Dr.O"

This book provides an extremely interesting perspective, looking at time as distance. Then it takes the idea even further and suggests finding ways to jump through wormholes to get more out of life. Although it can feel a bit abstract at times, I love the concept. I think because of the abstractness I've had trouble describing the idea to a few different people recently but that doesn't decrease my interest in the book.I actually read it first a few months back but a few weeks ago I started through it a second time. The first time I just read it and took a few notes about things I could do in my life or things I've found interesting. It was more of a high level, though provoking book to me at the time. This time, I'm going through specifically asking myself some questions on ways I can apply some of the ideas in the book. My plan is to setup triggers and routines that will allow me to integrate some of the principles in my day-to-day life.One of the quotes that to me sums up the purpose of the book is that "the compression of time is not a matter of compounding activities, but the compounding of meaning". For me, when I sometimes think about getting more done, I try to do 100 things and none of them get done well (or at all). Instead of trying to do those things, if we pick the things that matter and focus on those we can get the most meaning out of the activities we do spend our time on. We can improve the relative velocity toward our end goals and if we do things right actually slow down the way in which we are experiencing time.

Loved this book. Exactly what I needed. Getting focused and in flow is when all the right opportunities for Slipstreams start showing up!

This book is absolutely amazing. I came across it through Ben's post on Medium: "50 Ways Happier, Healthier, And More Successful People Live On Their Own Terms." I came across that article randomly, and after finishing it I immediately showed it to my girlfriend. I honestly believe it is the best article that I have ever read, and I had no idea who had written it until I was finished reading. There was a link to Ben's book at the bottom of the article, hence my reading his book and writing this review.I am in a transition right now in my life, and am struggling to truly break out of conventions and 100% commit to shaping my own reality. I have lived somewhat unconventionally for several years now, but I find it very easy to slip back into conformism. Ben presents great life philosophies in a really outside-the-box format, which I think is a great way to discuss living an outside-the-box life. I just finished reading this book this morning, and I will begin rereading it soon.You have to trust yourself and view things differently from others. Unfortunately I don't think I can do this book justice in my review, so whether you want to change your life or are just curious to learn about a unique life perspective, I encourage you to check it out for yourself.

Sorry to say, but I didn't really like this book. There were many reasons why.I always expect a book to be coherent at least, and hopefully well structured enough to provide a good argument or presentation of the author's thoughts. But it seemed to me that this book failed on both those dimensions.The worst part of the book was all the stuff about Einstein's relativity, and how it relates to slowing the time in your own life. That material seemed completely irrelevant and untrue to me. The author seems to think he is somehow immune to the physical laws of the universe that bind us all.Granted, his perceptions of the time speeds in his own head are legitimately in his domain, as they are for all of us, including me, and also for people in mental institutions and those on psychedelic drugs of various kinds. But such thoughts provide no basis for rational discussion.Probably the best part of the book came in about 50 tiny unrelated snippets, when the author cited statements by various authors of various books on various topics. I think the author was citing the quotes to support some point he was trying to make, but I could never really figure out what the author was actually trying to say.I do not think that there is a coherent theme to the book, although the author does give a few sentences here and there on the goals of the book. I tried to find the central argument of the book, but could not find one.I do not think I would recommend this book to anyone. If you want to live a better life, packed with more meaningfulness or activities that are aligned with your lifetime goals, there are many better books than this one out there. Better to skip this book and spend your time elsewhere, because I don't think you'll find much coherent meaning in this one.

This book show how us left opportunities to escape. If us will have more attention around us it could help us to gain time.

El autor comparte tips y consejos que puedes aplicar inmediatamente en tu vida diaria. Además el concepto de recortar el tiempo y de alguna manera acelerar tu avance es interesante.

A quick and easy read. Not sure anything really new here other than the way the ideas are presented and evolve through the book.

Un libro muy interesante con bastantes buenos tips y trucos para aplicarlos de inmediato a nuestro estilo de vida. No pensé que fue a tratarse de un libro tan interesante.

Benjamin links concepts of Physics and entrepreneurship to explain how can we speed time and get to our goals faster. Simple ideas that make sense.
