Hidden beyond our sexual gender there exists a biological duality in how humans experience time, which Pos calls time gender. Alphas preferentially focus on the here and now and experience their past and future as situation-oriented. In contrast betas selectively focus on their unified past and future and are often inattentive to the present. Pos collected a substantial body of data to demonstrate the origin and generality of his theory.

It is almost inconceivable that this duality in personality remained unnoticed before. This is likely due to the fact that we often describe the behavior of men and women as expressing their sexual gender while it actually expresses their time gender.

Toward the end, Pos gives his view on alpha/beta personality development an evolutionary perspective. This is an oeuvre unto itself. It is clear that Pos has woven not only one of the most comprehensive personality theories since Sigmund Freud gave us psychoanalysis, Carl Jung analytical psychology, and Jean Piaget cognitive psychology. He has presented it in a single volume..
