Time and How to Spend It | Free Book
A Financial Times Book of the Year
'Genius ... I couldn't put it down, I read it from cover to
cover'
CHRIS EVANS
If the most precious thing we have is time, the most highly
prized expertise should be knowing how to spend it well. Yet,
busier than ever, do we really understand which
experiences bring us joy and success, and which don’t?
After all, we’ve learned how to spot the difference
between junk foods and superfoods. When you discover the equivalent
rules for time, it’ll change how you live your life.
In
his first book since the era-defining Stuffocation, cultural
commentator and bestselling author James Wallman investigates the
persistent problem of wasted, unfulfilling time, and finds a
powerful answer — a revolutionary approach to life based on the
latest scientific discoveries. At its heart is the inspiring
revelation that, when you play by the new rules, you can actively
choose better experiences.
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’ll help you avoid empty experiences, and fill your free hours
with exciting and enriching ones instead.
This
life-enhancing book will show you how to be the hero or heroine of
your own story. You’ll learn how to avoid WMDs (weapons of mass
distraction), and discover the roads that lead to flow. You’ll get
more out of every minute and every day; your weekends will fizz and
your holidays will be deeply nourishing. You’ll not only be living
the good life, but building a truly great life.
In The Press
James Wallman draws together powerful ideas and research into a cohesive, fun, and useful handbook for life.
