Struggling to find free time? Feeling constantly busy or burned
out? This episode is for you. Dr. Laurie explores the
science behind “time famine,” the nagging sense that there’s
never enough time in the day.
Writer Tom Hodgkinson, author of How to Be Idle, makes
a provocative case that doing nothing (napping, daydreaming, even
staring out the window) isn’t laziness, but a powerful path to
greater happiness and creativity.
Plus, Harvard professor Ashley Whillans explains why we keep
prioritizing money over time and what that trade-off is really
costing us.
Experts Mentioned:
Tom Hodgkinson, founder and editor of The Idler and author of
How to Be Idle
Ashley Whillans, Harvard Business School professor and author
of Time Smart
Cassie Mogilner, UCLA professor of marketing and behavioral
decision making
Michael I. Norton, Harvard Business School professor of
business administration
John M. Darley and C. Daniel Batson, psychologists behind the
Good Samaritan helping study.
