Feel Alive Again: The Power of Fun

If you're not fully living, then you're not experiencing fun. The author of the book How to Break Up with Your Phone argues that fun is not just a frivolous concept, but rather crucial to our well-being. They explain how we can have more fun in our lives. According to #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant, this book might be exactly what we need to thrive. Catherine Price, a journalist and expert on balancing screen time and life, convincingly suggests that our constant use of technology has caused us to focus on intangible concepts like happiness, while overlooking the fact that real happiness comes from finding joy in everyday experiences. We often view fun as self-indulgent, immature, or selfish. We claim to be too busy for it, yet we somehow manage to spend hours engaging in what Price calls Fake Fun, such as binge-watching TV shows, endlessly scrolling through the news, or posting on social media in an attempt to fill the emptiness we feel inside.

In this sequel to her popular book, How to Break Up with Your Phone, Price argues that True Fun, which she defines as the perfect combination of playfulness, connection, and flow, can provide the fulfillment we desperately seek. By using True Fun as our guide, we can experience greater happiness and well-being. We'll become more productive, less resentful, and less stressed. We'll have more energy. We'll discover a sense of community and purpose. We'll move away from a state of stagnation and move toward a state of flourishing. And the best part? We'll enjoy the journey along the way.

Price blends scientific research with personal anecdotes to highlight the unexpected mental, physical, and cognitive benefits of fun. She offers a practical and personalized plan for achieving a better balance between screen time and real life, as well as attracting more True Fun into our daily routines without feeling overwhelmed.

The Power of Fun is groundbreaking, eye-opening, and filled with practical advice. It will not only change the way you perceive fun, but also bring you back to life.
