The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again by Catherine Price

4.0

"The Power of Fun" was a great way to kickstart my own pursuit let go of my dependence on my phone and enjoy life. I had only listened to a couple of chapters (on my phone) when I was inspired to use the weekend to go on a phone diet. My rules for myself: when sitting down, keep the phone on the bookshelf over there. I could use my phone only when standing up. It rewired my habits so I wasn't mindlessly scrolling. This idea wasn't from the book, but the book inspired the idea.

The book is a good reminder that there are ways to enjoy life. Let me tell you, I've been needing that reminder. It broke the elements of fun down to connection, playfulness, and flow. I followed the prompts to write things down and it was difficult, but once you break through the despair of thinking you've never had any fun in your entire life, it can inspire some things to introduce into your everyday existence.
