Des Moines Public Library business book pick: “Happier Hour” by Cassie Holmes.

Why you should read it: According to Cassie Holmes, our most precious resource is time. This book, based on her popular MBA class at UCLA, offers lessons to improve people’s lives by focusing on how we invest in our time. People should be framing their time around the things in life that bring the most joy and fulfillment, Holmes argues. The result? A richer life, and one that can help eliminate regret later in life.
