In 'Happier Hour,' Cassie Mogilner Holmes provides empirically based insights and easy-to-implement tools to help individuals optimize their time usage. The book, derived from her popular MBA class at UCLA, teaches readers how to spend their hours confidently, sidestep distractions, create moments of joy, design their days with purpose, and look back on their years without regret. Holmes's research emphasizes the importance of focusing on time rather than money to increase happiness and highlights the joy from interpersonal connections and present moment awareness.
Paul Bowles's "The Sheltering Sky" is a novel that follows Port and Kit Moresby's journey through North Africa. The story explores themes of alienation, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in a foreign land. Bowles's evocative descriptions of the North African landscape and his exploration of existential themes create a haunting and atmospheric narrative. The novel's ambiguous ending leaves the reader to ponder the true nature of the Moresbys' relationship and the meaning of their journey. Its enduring legacy lies in its exploration of the human condition and the enduring power of storytelling.
