In this episode, I talk with Mike Rucker about why crafting deliberate fun could be the key to experiencing more joy and happiness.
We discuss:
- Why we are often less happy, despite having more information and tools for happiness than ever.
- Defining fun and distinguishing the differences between high vs. low arousal fun.
- Understanding the PLAY model: A tool to assess how different types of activities contribute to our fulfillment.
Challenge: At [41:25], Mike challenges you to look at your previous 168 hours and take an inventory of how you’ve been spending your time.
