    Description

    The basis of Professor Whillans’ research is the idea that time and money are two of our most valuable resources, and she poses the question, “With both of these resources being limited, how should we spend our time and money to maximize happiness?” To answer this question, and to understand the psychological barriers that may prevent people from spending their free time and discretionary income in ways that promote well-being, she starts in the lab, then takes her ideas to the real world, to examine the applicability and replicability of her research.
