Presented as part of the Murdock Mind, Body, Spirit Series.

Behavioral scientist Cassie Holmes joins Carolyne Heldman, host of the “Behind the Lens” podcast, to explore one of life’s most pressing questions: how can we spend our time to experience greater happiness and meaning in our days and to look back on our years without regret? A professor at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, Holmes draws on her academic research, as well as insights from her best-selling book Happier Hour, to examine the relationship between time, attention, and well-being, and to offer practical ideas for how we can reshape our daily lives to feel less rushed and more connected to what matters most.Paepcke Auditorium, doors at 5:00 pm
