The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again by Catherine Price
4.0
Useful book on how to identify fun. Some of us are privileged to live in a fun-filled culture. We seek excitement, play, unplugging from reality. Catherine Price tells how to engage in reality in a healthy way to cultivate a life of joy. I appreciate a lot of her tips on recognizing what our own version of fun is and learning new fun possibilities. She reminds us how to be a beginner for different activities, in order to find possible fun outlets for ourselves, while building relationships with family/friends. She speaks on breaking free from your phone/electronics or using them in healthy ways. This peaked my interest in her book, How to Break Up with Your Phone. Enjoyed the audiobook (read by the author) and hope to borrow her other book soon!
Favorite quotes:
“We can’t control the fact that we will die. But we can control whether we actually live. We can control whether we merely endure our days or experience and enjoy them. We can control whether we arrive on our deathbeds feeling like we’ve wasted our time or end up satisfied with how we’ve spent our brief moment in the sun.”
“True Fun is the confluence of playfulness, connection, and flow. Whenever these three states occur at the same time, we experience True Fun.”
