People are now exposed to more information than ever before, provided both by technology and by increasing access to every level of education. These societal gains, however, have also helped fuel a surge in narcissistic and misguided intellectual egalitarianism that has crippled informed debates on any number of issues. Today, everyone knows everything and all voices demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism.

Our most precious resource isn’t money. It’s time. Not only are we allotted just 24 hours a day and an unknown number of years, we also live in a culture that tricks us into feeling “time poor”, like we never have enough. Based on her wildly popular class at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, Professor Cassie Holmes guides us in how to immediately improve our lives by better investing our time.

Recommend the content, didn't love the audiobook
Reviewed: 01-14-23
some great advice here. tough as an audiobook, because it is hard to reference things you want to follow up on later. author has some anoying vocal habits... would appreciate better diction, less vocal fry, and not trailing off at end of sentances.
overall, would recommend hard copy book.
