Journalist and screen/life balance expert Catherine Price argues persuasively that our always-on, tech-addicted lifestyles have led us to obsess over intangible concepts such as happiness while obscuring the fact that real happiness lies in the everyday experience of fun. We often think of fun as indulgent, even immature and selfish. We claim to not have time for it, even as we find hours a day for what Price calls Fake Fun—bingeing on television, doomscrolling the news, or posting photos to social media, all in hopes of filling some of the emptiness we feel inside..
In this follow-up to her hit book, How to Break Up with Your Phone, Price makes the case that True Fun—which she defines as the magical confluence of playfulness, connection, and flow—will give us the fulfillment we so desperately seek. If you use True Fun as your compass, you will be happier and healthier. You will be more productive, less resentful, and less stressed. You will have more energy. You will find community and a sense of purpose. You will stop languishing and start flourishing. And best of all? You’ll enjoy the process.
Weaving together scientific research with personal experience, Price reveals the surprising mental, physical, and cognitive benefits of fun, and offers a practical, personalized plan for how we can achieve better screen/life balance and attract more True Fun into our daily lives—without feeling overwhelmed.
Groundbreaking, eye-opening, and packed with useful advice, The Power of Fun won’t just change the way you think about fun. It will bring you back to life.

Is your phone the first thing you reach for when you wake up? And
the last thing you see before you sleep? Do you find the hours slip
away as you idly scroll through your social media timeline? In
short, are you addicted to your phone? If so, How to Break Up with
Your Phone is here to help. How to Break Up With Your Phone is a
smart, practical and useful plan to help you conquer your mobile
phone addiction in just 30 days - and take back your life in the
process. Recent studies have shown that spending extended time on
our phones affects our ability to form new memories, think deeply,
focus and absorb information, and the hormones triggered every time
we hear our phones buzz both add to our stress levels and are the
hallmark signs of addiction. In How to Break Up with Your Phone,
award-winning science journalist Catherine Price explores the
effects that our constant connectivity is having on our brains,
bodies, relationships, and society at large and asks, how much time
do you really want to spend on your phone? Over the course of 30
days, Catherine will guide you through an easy-to-follow plan that
enables you to identify your goals, priorities and bad habits, tidy
your apps, prune your email, and take time away. Lastly, you will
create a new, healthier relationship with your phone and establish
habits and routines to ensure this new relationship sticks. You
don't have to give up your phone forever; instead you will be more
mindful not only of how you use your phone, but also about how you
choose to spend the precious moments of your life.
From the Grover Cleveland Service Area to the Beijing Museum of Tap
Water to, of course, Euro Disney, "101 Places Not to See Before You
Die" brings you unforgettable tales of the most ill-conceived
museums, worst theme parks, and the grossest Superfund sites that
you'll ever have the pleasure of not visiting. Journalist Catherine
Price travels the globe - and beyond - for attractions that aren't
worth the trip, like Jupiter's Worst Moon, an Outdoor Wedding
During the 2021 Reemergence of the Great Eastern Cicada Brood, and
Fan Hours at the Las Vegas Porn Convention. With guest entries from
globe trotting writers including Nicholas Kristof, Michael Pollan,
Rebecca Solnit, and A. J. Jacobs, "101 Places Not to See Before You
Die" is filled with stories and anecdotes of misadventure to which
any seasoned traveler can relate. It's also a testament to why we
hit the road to begin with: to put ourselves in new and interesting
situations, and to collect stories and memories that make even the
worst experiences in the moment worth the trip. Irreverent and
compulsively readable, "101 Places Not to See Before You Die"
highlights destinations we can all live without - while reminding
us why we're willing to put up with the bed bugs and the food
poisoning and set out to explore the world.
