"Very readable and intriguing." — Hawke's Bay Today
"This informative first book by Sarah Norgate, a psychologist, looks at how we relate to the fourth dimension, from the millisecond precision of a tennis player returning a serve to the personal narratives we each build. . . . An agreeable blend of psychology, neuroscience, sociology, and anthropology." — The Independent
"Fascinating. . . . The message here is the wise use of time for work, life and sleep." — Times Educational Supplement
"In Beyond 9 to 5 Sarah Norgate investigates everything from how we perceive time to how long we've got on Earth to enjoy it. . . . [She] raises some interesting questions." — New Scientist
"Rich in intelligently contrasted and contextualized data, Norgate's academic study skillfully captures how world communities differ in their relationship to time." — Publishers Weekly
"Thought-provoking." — Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times
"Beyond 9 to 5 touches on an imaginative and creative array of topics that bear on the way we think about time, including cultural, neural, and behavioral aspects. It is a well-written and highly readable presentation for the lay reader of why we might care about timing and all the different ways in which it imposes itself on our lives." — Rae Silver, Kaplan Professor of Natural and Physical Sciences, Barnard College, and professor of psychology, Columbia University
