About this listen
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).
Critic Reviews
"You cannot make yourself happy, but you can take action that is fun, says psychologist Mike Rucker in this candid lesson. He narrates clearly in a steely tone and sounds utterly authentic as he delivers his insights and advice. These features of his performance make this audiobook an inviting listening experience. His ideas and can-do strategies sound accessible, even inspiring, but it’s his thoughtful ideas and down-to-earth illustrations that will make listeners want to bring these habits into their lives. His philosophy about work, play, worry, and fear will provoke and motivate listeners to be brave when pursuing joy and wonder. This is a life-expanding audio lesson that will loosen the obstacles many of us erect to enjoying our lives more."
