How to make fun an essential part of a balanced, purposeful and healthy life, from the bestselling author of How to Break Up with Your Phone.

When did you last feel exhilarated and light-hearted? When did you last feel fully alive? When did you last have fun?

In our always-on, tech-addicted lifestyles, the pursuit of fun has become an indulgence. We have forgotten how to relax.

* Be healthier, less stressed and have more energy.
* Find community and a sense of purpose.
* Stop languishing and start flourishing.

And best of all? You'll enjoy yourself!

Ground-breaking, eye-opening and packed with useful advice, The Power of Fun won't just change the way you think, it will bring you back to life.
