In this book, Catherine Price makes the case that 'True Fun'—defined as the combination of playfulness, connection, and flow—is crucial for our well-being.

She weaves together scientific research and personal experience to reveal the mental, physical, and cognitive benefits of fun.

The book provides a practical, personalized plan to help readers achieve better screen/life balance and incorporate more fun into their lives without feeling overwhelmed.
