The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again by Catherine Price
2.0
I personally struggle with books of this nature… I find that they (generalisation) write a lot about a little and in particular with this book the key messaging could be picked up reading any given chapter.
That said, I do think I’ve taken away learnings and I will attempt to put into practice the various techniques and recommendations to lead a happier life. There is a lot of emphasis placed on screen-life balance which I think is an important subject and could be a book in its entirety (I believe Catherine has actually published said book already).
I did have a slight gripe with the whole basis of the book being centred around the fact one has to have connections in order to have true fun and thus in turn to be happy. I do strongly disagree with this. People can have fun independently and alone, case and point writing this review. An insensitive take and far from accurate. Catherine does make a point that there are instances when one can be happy alone, but this is about it… “instances”.
Overall, underwhelming.
