Against the clock: Passage of time

While the book does present our relationship with time in a balanced fashion, exploring themes of regret (focus on the past) and anticipation (focus on the future) with a very (repeated throughout) clear message of the importance of being mindful of and appreciating the present, the book is unfortunately dragged down by its repetitiveness. This is unfortunately one of the challenges with generating books with AI and failing to go back and thoroughly edit them afterward. ChatGPT writes chapter by chapter, and doesn't consider that is has already explained something, so it sets the context over and over and over again, which can be pretty painful to the reader.
