The fun habit : how the pursuit of joy and wonder can change your life / Mike Rucker, Ph.D.

Rucker, Michael, (author.).

Summary:

"The more we seek happiness, the more elusive it becomes. The Fun Habit shows readers that fun, unlike happiness, is an action you can take almost anywhere, anytime. Fun is connected to behavior and habits rather than goals, which means it's possible to get more fun into your life with intention. Whether you're a frustrated happiness-seeker looking for a new approach, a success-oriented hustler trying to balance work with a fulfilling life, or someone who experienced a life-changing trauma and needs to regain their well-being with the best medicine available, this book will show you how to reap the serious benefits fun offers us all. Grounded in science, empirical evidence, and practical recommendations, The Fun Habit delineates why you should be having more fun and shows you how to rebuild the necessary skill set you need to make fun a habit. From teaching you how to escape the happiness trap, to finding just the right kind of fun for you, to spreading the fun to your friends and family, Rucker will inspire you to incorporate a bias toward fun into every aspect of your life"-- Provided by publisher.

Summary

The Fun Habit : How the Pursuit of Joy and Wonder Can Change Your Life


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).
