Can money buy happiness? Becoming Time Wise with Dr Amantha Imber

Is scrolling through Netflix, Uber Eats and TikTok killing our ability to focus? This year we’ve become really interested in the idea of using our time better, and ways to live our lives with more intention. There is so much more to our lives than picking the perfect ETF or brokerage account, so it’s important that we take the time to zoom out and look at the bigger picture of how we’re designing the lives we want to live, and investing both our time and money better. Today’s guest, Dr Amantha Imber, is an organisational psychologist and behavioural scientist, and has just released her book Time Wise, which is a guide designed to help dominate your day and level up your life, using the secrets and habits from the world’s most successful people. She’s also host of the popular podcast How I Work, where she interviews some of the world’s most successful people about their habits, rituals and strategies for optimising their day. In today’s episode we discuss ways to invest both your time and money better, whether money can buy happiness and how to make better decisions when spending money. Ready-made ETF portfolios?
