Rhythm and number underpin our lives, from the days of the week to the time of day. This intriguing book explores the origin and qualities of numbers from one to thirty-one, how we divide time, and the effect both have on the harmony of our lives.

Rhythm and number underpin our lives, from the time of day to the number of letters in the alphabet. But have you ever stopped to consider the deeper meaning behind these everyday realities? This thought-provoking book offers a fascinating exploration of time and number. Wolfgang Held looks at why there are seven days in a week and how each day reflects a different soul mood -- for example, why Tuesday is a good day for making mistakes and why Friday is a day of beauty and creativity. He also explores the qualities of numbers from 1 to 31 and explains how many things have an inherent number attached to them: one sun, three meals a day, four seasons. The practical insights gathered together in this book can help you become more conscious of your relationship to time and number and help you organise your life in a more harmonious way.
