In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Dr Cassie Holmes and Chris Williamson, How To Manage Your Time For A Happier Life - Dr Cassie Holmes explores use Your Time Intentionally To Build Happiness, Meaning, And Connection Dr. Cassie Holmes explains how happiness is less about circumstances or personality and far more about how we spend and perceive our time. She defines happiness as both in-the-moment joy and overall life satisfaction, and shows these are tightly linked to intentional time use. The conversation covers practical tools like time-tracking, combating hedonic adaptation, designing rituals, and using scarcity awareness to prioritize what matters. They also explore time poverty versus time affluence, the limits of money on happiness, and how social connection and deep conversations are central to a fulfilling life.
