Summary

Adrienne speaks with Cassie Mogilner Holmes; a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, an award-winning teacher and researcher on time and happiness, and bestselling 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. Across these inquiries, her findings highlight the joy that stems from interpersonal connection and paying attention to the present moment.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Power Hour. I'm Adrienne Herbert, wellness coach, international speaker and author.
0:10.0	Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches, change makers and innovators,
0:18.0	to find out their daily habits, their rules to live by and what motivates
0:22.5	them to get up out of bed each day. Personally, I am on a mission to encourage, motivate and inspire,
0:29.6	so I hope that the Power Hour will help you to achieve your personal and professional goals.

1:40.9	happiness and how do you define satisfaction and what are the main differences

1:46.3	Yeah.
