The author of \u003ci\u003eHow to Break Up with Your Phone\u003c\/i\u003e makes the case that, far from being frivolous, fun is actually critical to our well-being--and shows us how to have more of it.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This delightful book might just be what we need to start flourishing.\"--#1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Adam Grant\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJournalist and screen\/life balance expert Catherine Price argues persuasively that our always-on, tech-addicted lifestyles have led us to obsess over intangible concepts such as happiness while obscuring the fact that real happiness lies in the everyday experience of fun. We often think of fun as indulgent, even immature and selfish. We claim to not have time for it, even as we find hours a day for what Price calls Fake Fun--bingeing on television, doomscrolling the news, or posting photos to social media, all in hopes of filling some of the emptiness we feel inside. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this follow-up to her hit book, \u003ci\u003eHow to Break Up with Your Phone\u003c\/i\u003e, Price makes the case that True Fun--which she defines as the magical confluence of playfulness, connection, and flow--will give us the fulfillment we so desperately seek. If you use True Fun as your compass, you will be happier and healthier. You will be more productive, less resentful, and less stressed. You will have more energy. You will find community and a sense of purpose. You will stop languishing and start flourishing. And best of all? You'll enjoy the process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaving together scientific research with personal experience, Price reveals the surprising mental, physical, and cognitive benefits of fun, and offers a practical, personalized plan for how we can achieve better screen\/life balance and attract more True Fun into our daily lives--without feeling overwhelmed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGroundbreaking, eye-opening, and packed with useful advice, \u003ci\u003eThe Power of Fun\u003c\/i\u003e won't just change the way you think about fun.
