Story4.5 out of 5 stars 269
Journalist 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.

Price does a great job of weaving personal narrative with research and first-person interviews and research to compile a practical handbook to building more fun into your life. I found a lot of value in this book and recommend it to anyone who feels like it’s hard to answer the question, “what do i do for fun?”
