May 17th- The Power of Fun, Catherine Price
If you’re not having fun, you’re not fully living. The bestselling author of The Amazing Generation and How to Break Up with Your Phone makes the case that, far from being frivolous, fun is actually critical to our well-being—and shows us how to have more of it.
“This delightful book might just be what we need to start flourishing.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant
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, doom scrolling the news, or posting photos to social media, all in hopes of filling some of the emptiness we feel inside.

Read the books if you have time, or just join us each month for the conversation! We will meet from 5-6:30 pm in Room 101/103 across from the kitchen.
