It's really those moments of joint tend to come where spending time with the other is the focus. And so often it is whether again, it's like really connecting genuinely connecting with another person or with a group of people,. Or the selling something that you know, passion or an activity that really is in service of your purpose and higher order goals.

This week I was excited to welcome Dr. Cassie Holmes to the show to discuss her new book,

Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most.

Cassie is a professor of marketing and behavioral decision making at the UCLA Anderson School of Management and is a renowned expert in the field of time and its correlation to happiness.

In this conversation Cassie guides listeners through a variety of insights and exercises she’s shared with MBA students in her wildly popular UCLA course. Dr. Holmes unpacks concepts such as time poverty, what it is, why it’s damaging, how it’s subjective, and ways you can quickly increase your time affluence. We discuss how the use of time tracking can easily and quickly guide those suffering from time poverty to a more fruitful, fulfilling and happier pace of life.

In addition to sharing techniques and research that she has discovered while writing the book, Cassie also reveals some of the psychology and behavioral science that can lead to the sometimes overwhelming feelings of time poverty and the power of embracing quality time over mundane time-costs such as excess social media, and pseudo-work.
