It was like... the solution is obvious. I need to quit my job and move to a sunny island somewhere, right? With this idea that if only I had a whole lot more time, if only I could spend the hours of my days relaxing, doing exactly what I wanted, then I would be happier, right? And it's like,

And so I thought that maybe...

If we had just a whole lot more time, then that's the secret to happiness. And it turns out the answer is no. And I'm happy to speak to data that shows us so. And I'm also happy to speak to ways that I have sort of informed by my research since that.

been thinking about and approaching my time, recognizing that time isn't just the barrier, that it can actually be the solution if we spend it in the ways that matter. If while we're spending it, we're thinking about what matters and ultimately finding not just happiness, but that satisfaction and that joy, that sense of meaning that we yearn for. Because what we don't want

Yeah. And I do want to circle back to this relationship or comparison of time and money. So the reason having more isn't always better with respect to time is because we found in our data that people are averse to being idle. And so when you're spending all of the hours of your day, day in and day out, and this isn't the weekend. This isn't vacation. This is in the regular cadence of your life.

When you have all the hours of your day spending how you want relaxing, then what we find is that undermines people's sense of productivity. It undermines their sense of purpose and that leaves them less satisfied. And so this bell curve, this, I started to talk about it like a rainbow or an arc, where happiness goes down on both sides of the spectrum.

So we are less happy when we have too little time. So that's the time poor, right? And that is because we feel heightened levels of stress and that stress makes us feel less satisfied, less happy. This other side where we found that there is such thing as having too much time is because of lower sense of purpose. And from that, we feel less satisfied.
