True Fun in a Fake Fun World

About this episode

Catherine Price discusses the importance of true fun for wellbeing and how it differs from fake fun.

As adults, it’s easy to think of fun as a luxury – something we’ll get around to after everything else is done. But science journalist Catherine Price says fun is essential to our wellbeing. On today’s episode, Catherine joins Maya to talk about the difference between true fun and fake fun, and how making space for the real thing can leave us feeling more energized and restored. Check out Catherine’s book, “ The Power of Fun: How To Feel Alive Again .” If you enjoyed our conversation with Catherine, we recommend our episode with Priya Parker, “ The Art and Science of Gathering .” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
