Professor Cassie Holmes discusses her book "Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most." Our most precious resource isn’t money. It’s time. We are allotted just twenty-four hours a day, and we live in a culture that keeps us feeling “time poor” —like we never have enough. Since we can’t add more hours to the day, how can we experience our lives as richer? Is it possible to spend our days so they aren’t just full, but are fulfilling?

Based on her wildly popular MBA class at UCLA, Cassie demonstrates how to immediately improve our lives by changing how we perceive and invest our time. Happier Hour teaches you how small changes can have an enormous impact, helping you feel less overwhelmed, more present, and more satisfied with your life overall. It all starts by transforming just one hour into a happier hour.

According to Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, the ultimate self-realization is the integration of the unconscious into the conscious. This is called the individuation process. So, how does this work?

Being a leader isn't easy. Your every move is being scrutinized and no one can be perfect. It's important for leaders to lead by example, appreciate their workforce and lead with humility.

Trust is the foundation for everything we do. But what do we do when it's broken? In an eye-opening talk, Harvard Business School professor Frances Frei gives a crash course in trust: how to build it, maintain it and rebuild it -- something she worked on during a recent stint at Uber. "If we can learn to trust one another more, we can have unprecedented human progress," Frei says.

First, realize there’s a difference between acting tough and actually being mentally strong.

There’s a belief that service is meaningful only to those that are somehow born for it. Dissolving this myth is a key step in delivering truly impactful service. We know anyone can learn service skills, but did you know that anyone can learn to find service enjoyable and fulfilling?

What does make us change our actions? Tali Sharot reveals three ingredients to doing what's good for yourself. Dr. Tali Sharot is a neuroscientist at University College London and the director of the Affective Brain Lab. She is a faculty member of the department of Experimental Psychology, a Wellcome Trust Fellow, and currently a visiting Professor at Harvard Medical School. Her research focuses on how emotion, motivation, and social factors influence our expectations, decisions, and memories.

Jeremy Hunter describes how we can change the future by focusing on attention and Mindfulness.

Unfortunately, we go around the world with scripts in our minds. That is to say collections of expectations about how events will unfold and how we should best respond to them. These tell us a lot about our pasts, but the tragedy is that, unaware they exist, we let them determine our futures.

An unexpected and troublesome feature of being human is that we feel so much more than we spontaneously realise we feel. There are emotions coursing through us - of anger or joy, resentment or fear - that lie just outside the sphere of ordinary consciousness and that elude us as we rush through the challenges of our lives.
