Person
Ashley Whillans
Researcher; time-vs-money and outsourcing happiness
Researcher who found that people rarely outsource unenjoyable chores (like cleaning) even when they can afford to, but those who do report greater happiness — with the added caveat that the time saved only pays off if spent genuinely present, not distracted. Given as "Ashley Willans" in the episode audio; corrected here to the real researcher.
