Time and How to Spend It

The 7 Rules for Richer, Happier Days. We are busier than ever. But do we really know which experiences bring us joy and success, and which don`t?
Cultural commentator James Wallman, bestselling author of Stuffocation, investigates our fear of missing out and the problem of unfulfilling time, and finds a powerful answer - a revolutionary approach to life based on the latest scientific discoveries.

Bursting with original stories, fresh takes on tales you thought you knew, and insights from psychology, economics and culture, Time and How to Spend It reveals a seven-point checklist that will help you avoid empty, waste-of-time experiences, and fill your time with ones that give you stories, success and happiness instead.
