Doesn’t it seem that the more we seek happiness, the more elusive it becomes? Fun is an action you can take here and now, practically anywhere, anytime. 

Whether you’re a frustrated high-achiever trying to find a better work-life balance or seeking relief from life’s overwhelming challenges, it is time you gain access to the best medicine available. The Fun Habit: How the Disciplined Pursuit of Joy and Wonder Can Change Your Life is the ultimate guide to reap the serious benefits fun offers. Grounded in current research, accessible science, and practical recommendations, Dr. Rucker will use The Fun Habit strategies to teach you: 

  • How you can build having fun into an actionable and effortless habit; and
  • Why doing so will help you become a healthier, more joyful, more productive person.
