This was a fascinating chat about happiness; how it works, how it varies from person to person (as an experience), its relationship with self-awareness and gratitude, its relationship with ‘success’ and how it is affected by biology, psychology and sociology. Our guest, Cassie Holmes, is a Professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, she is an expert on time and happiness and also the author of ‘Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most’. Cassie’s research examines such questions as how focusing on time (rather than money) increases happiness, how the meaning of happiness changes over the course of one’s lifetime, and how much happiness people enjoy from extraordinary versus ordinary experiences. I loved my chat with the Prof. Enjoy.
