The Behavioural Economics Of How We Spend Our Time | Koen Smets | Modern Wisdom 127

Koen Smets is a behavioural economist and professor. We've been told "time is money" for all our lives, but how does time RELATE to money? We can't save time the same way we can save money, so what are the implications for how we should conduct our lives? Today Koen digs deep into the relationship between time, money, life satisfaction and much more.
