Before I go on any further, let me just say the Time Keeper is one of the best books I have read for a long time. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not one to make a sweeping statement. I’m just saying out of the books I have read, this is one of the best books if not the best.

The Time Keeper is a book by Mitch Albom. He also wrote The five people you meet in heaven, Tuesdays with a Morrie and For one more day. I read two of his books before and they were feel good and inspirational. This one is different in the sense it might have possibly change my perception of time forever.

This book takes you a journey and towards the end, I really felt what the author is trying to say. Heck, I didn’t even feel that it’s the author talking, the book excelled at making me feel a part of the journey.

We have always been reminded of how important time is to us in various ways. Whenever we lose a family member or when we watch others waste their time, we think of ourselves and for that day, we tend to appreciate the time a little more. Soon we forget about it again and just continue to live as it is.

But let’s say you have the ability to control time and to stop time whenever so that you can do more in a day, would you?

When was the last time we truly live in the moment, when was the last time we stop taking out our smartphones and truly concentrate on the people in front of us? When was the last time you appreciated time?
