Representational image Valuing your time more than the pursuit of money is linked to greater happiness, according to new research published by the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. In six studies with more than 4,600 participants, researchers found an almost even split between people who tended to value their time or money, and that choice was a fairly consistent trait both for daily interactions and major life events. “It appears that people have a stable preference for valuing their time over making more money, and prioritising time is associated with greater happiness,” >>>
