Discover the latest scientific evidence for the potent and revitalizing value of fun and how to make having fun a habitual and authentic part of your daily life with "this well-researched and impressive guide" ( BookPage ). Doesn't it seem that the more we seek happiness, the more elusive it becomes?There is an easy fix: fun is an action you can take here and now, practically anywhere, anytime. Through research and science, we know fun is enormously beneficial to our physical and psychological well-being, yet fun's absence from our modern lives is striking. Whether you're a frustrated high-achiever trying to find a better work-life balance or someone who is seeking relief from life's overwhelming challenges, it is time you gain access to the best medicine available."A masterful distillation of science and personal experience" (Nir Eyal, author of Hooked ), The Fun Habit explains how you can build having fun into an actionable and effortless habit and why doing so will help you become a healthier, more joyful, more productive person. In the vein of Year of Yes, 10% Happier, and Atomic Habits, The Fun Habit features "practical tips, tools, and tactics for bringing fun into our lives starting now" (Dr. Olav Sorenson, UCLA professor of sociology).
