Happier Hour

How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most

De: Cassie Holmes

Narrado por: Cassie Holmes

Learn how to reframe your time around life’s happiest moments to build days that aren’t just full but fulfilling with this “joyful guide” (Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author) that is the antidote to overscheduling.

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.” Since we can’t add more hours to the day, how can we experience our lives as richer?

Based on her wildly popular MBA class at UCLA, Professor Cassie Holmes demonstrates how to immediately improve our lives by changing how we perceive and invest our time. Happier Hour provides empirically based insights and easy-to-implement tools that will allow you to:

-Optimally spend your hours and feel confident in those choices
-Sidestep distractions
-Create and savor moments of joy
-Design your schedule with purpose
-Look back on your years without regrets

Enlivened by Holmes’s upbeat narrative and groundbreaking research, Happier Hour “is filled with loads and loads of practical, evidence-based advice for how to live better by investing in what really matters. It’s the kind of book that can change your life for the better” (Laurie Santos, Yale professor and host of The Happiness Lab podcast).

vary well done

Evidence based recipe for a happy, meaningful life no matter how busy you are.

Loved it! This is exactly what I needed- a structured system to help me prioritize, plan, and SCHEDULE the things that are PROVEN to increase happiness and life satisfaction.

Clear, backed by solid research, powerful personal stories, and very actionable with step-by-step instructions.

Life Changing

This is beautifully written and read perfectly by the author. Captivating and inspiring! I found myself sitting in the driveway just to listen to a few more minutes at the end of the work day. I highly recommend this to everyone!

Slow start, excellent ending

If the beginning feels slow to you, keep reading! The research and suggested application of the findings was excellent

More than a typical book, a program for change

More than a book, it's an entire workshop on how to be happier. If you're serious about a happier life, reading this and doing the self-exploration exercises can actually make a difference.

2-5 hours if discretionary time

Loved the research and conclusions. Loved the purpose, connection and fun insights with discretionary time

Good book but the narration-oy!

I’ll admit that I’m very sensitive to vocal fry and find it super irritating, so much so that my friends tease me about it. I love the upbeat and positive message of this book and really hope I can get past the author’s voice so that I can finish it, but it’s a struggle. Unfortunately, the way she speaks hurts her credibility on an almost subconscious level. I hope that for future books, she hires a professional to read the audio. It’s painful.

Great book!

I really enjoyed this book! So worth the read! I had to speed up the audio because it is super slow but other than that it was wonderful!

A great message but the story drags at timew

I love the book but at times it felt more like a textbook then a motivational self-help book.

Recommend the content, didn't love the audiobook

some great advice here. tough as an audiobook, because it is hard to reference things you want to follow up on later. author has some anoying vocal habits... would appreciate better diction, less vocal fry, and not trailing off at end of sentances.

overall, would recommend hard copy book.
