About this listen

Discover compelling scientific evidence for the value of fun - and of how having more of it will help you achieve better work-life balance, reduce stress and much more.

Doesn’t it seem that the more we seek happiness, the more elusive it becomes?

There is an easy fix, hiding in plain sight. Fun is an action you can take here and now, practically anywhere, anytime. There is a multitude of research that proves how beneficial fun is to our pysical and psychological well-being, yet all too often, its absence from our modern lives is striking. Whether you’re a frustrated high-achiever trying to find a better work-life balance or someone simply seeking relief from life’s overwhelming challenges, it's time to look into fun as a solution. The Fun Habit is the ultimate guide to reaping the serious benefits of fun.

Drawing on cutting edge research, accessible science, and practical recommendations, Dr Mike Rucker explains how you can build having fun into an actionable and effortless habit and why doing so will help you become healthier, joyful and more productive.
