On this podcast Alex and Kathy discuss how time seems to accelerate as we age, explaining this phenomenon through the Time Unit Paradox, where our brains prioritize novelty and therefore record fewer distinct memories as routines solidify. It suggests that introducing new experiences and managing energy are crucial for expanding our perception of time. The podcast also explores the importance of prioritizing meaningful tasks and cultivating strong relationships as keys to a fulfilling life, arguing that time affluence is more closely linked to happiness than financial affluence.
Finally, it advocates for intentional life design and building social capital through vulnerability and shared experiences.
