How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most | Talks at Google

Professor Cassie Holmes discusses her book "Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most." Our most precious resource isn’t money. It’s time. We are allotted just twenty-four hours a day, and we live in a culture that keeps us feeling “time poor” —like we never have enough. Since we can’t add more hours to the day, how can we experience our lives as richer? Is it possible to spend our days so they aren’t just full, but are fulfilling? Based on her wildly popular MBA class at UCLA, Cassie demonstrates how to immediately improve our lives by changing how we perceive and invest our time. Happier Hour teaches you how small changes can have an enormous impact, helping you feel less overwhelmed, more present, and more satisfied with your life overall. It all starts by transforming just one hour into a happier hour. Get the book here: https://goo.gle/3w7CqXW.
