WE'RE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE OUR NEXT SELECTION ...

The Fun Habit:
How the Pursuit of Joy and Wonder Can Change Your Life 



by Mike Rucker, PhD

 



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. Through research and science, we know fun is enormously beneficial to our physical and psychological well-being, yet fun's absence from our modern lives is striking. 

Whether you're a frustrated high-achiever trying to find a better work-life balance or someone who is seeking relief from life's overwhelming challenges, it is time you gain access to the best medicine available. The Fun Habit is the ultimate guide to reap the serious benefits fun offers.

Grounded in current research, accessible science, and practical recommendations. The Fun Habit explains how you can build having fun into actionable and effortless habit and why doing so will help you become a healthier, more joyful, more productive person. In the vein of Year of Yes, 10% Happier and Atomic Habits, The Fun Habit is an inspiring and motivational guidebook that you will want to share with everyone in your life.

Author Mike Rucker, health expert and behavioral scientist, undertook his own quest for happiness that only left him more unhappy. In The Fun Habit, he shares vital research and stories from himself and others who have improved their lives by making fun an actionable and natural habit. He shows you how you can easily do the same, making fun a regular part of your life in a way that feels comfortable and authentic. He encourages you to reevaluate your pursuit of happiness and offers a method or discovering and defining fun that is uniquely and meaningfully personal. As Mike says, “We can’t always make ourselves happy, but we all have the agency to find ways to become healthier, more joyful, and even more productive by developing our own Fun Habit.”
 



Why this book?

After choosing three books and asking our current members and Book Club alumni which book was their first choice, The Fun Habit won! As one member said, "Who doesn't want more fun in their life?"

 






 The Fun Habit Reading Schedule
 

The discussion is structured as a four session program spread out over eight weeks. We want to give you ample time to read the chapters and engage with the content.

 Praise for this book:   


"A well-crafted guide to the who, what, when, where, why, and how of fun, Mike has woven a joyful mixture of story and research in the making of The Fun Habit. You will walk away with ideas you can start using today to invite in more delight and make the good times last.”
~ Gary Ware, founder of Breakthrough Play; author of Playful Rebellion 

"A masterful distillation of science and personal experience, The Fun Habit uncovers the amazing power we have to improve our present state, and shows how fun is the key to an enjoyable and fulfilling life. Readers looking for actionable, science-based strategies, rather than pie-in-the-sky promises, will love this book."
-- Nir Eyal, best selling author of Hooked and Indistractable


"A breath of fresh air for those who want more joy and wonder in their lives! Michael artfully bridges science and storytelling to reveal best practices for enhancing our quality of life. The Fun Habit is foundational for anyone who wants to improve performance, enhance relationships, and have greater social impact."
-- Dr. Michael Gervais, high performance psychologist; founder of Finding Mastery, Inc.

 

Here's what Living Life Soulfully Book Club members are saying:

  • "My experience being part of the online book club has been fantastic! I’ve never been able to attend a book club because of my family’s needs in the evenings. It was so convenient to just click the link on my laptop from the comfort of my home! I love the diversity of the group, and how easy it was to connect with inspiring souls from all over the country. It expanded my mind and enriched my life, without the logistics of getting to a meeting." ~Carrie N.
  •  
  • "The book club has been wonderful - so engaging and helpful to hear other people’s viewpoints and  ideas. The Facebook closed group for members is a lot of fun to connect with others and the Zoom calls made implementing changes learned through the reading doable. I definitely plan on joining the next book club group." ~Mary Beth B.
  •  
  • "It was enlightening, nurturing and encouraging. I sometimes felt ready to share my take-aways and other times knew that I just wanted to listen. Either way, I received exactly what I needed and engaged in the closed Facebook group and the book discussion calls. I can't wait to sign up for the next one!" ~Jennine M.
