The Time We Do Not Have: Reflections on the Acceleration of Life

By Antônio Carlos

We live as if time is always slipping away. Days compress, obligations multiply, and urgency becomes the atmosphere we inhabit. The Time We Don't Have is a philosophical meditation on the acceleration of life, the logic of productivity, and the erosion of interiority. Without nostalgia or comfort, the book explores time scarcity as a shared human condition, exposing the functional chronology that has replaced lived time.

Across forty fragments, it proposes a deceleration that is not technical but existential - an invitation to presence, to listening, and to inhabiting what remains outside control.
