From fun-haters to play-daters, when did we stop prioritizing delight? Is it irresponsible for adults to play, or is fun essential for a fulfilling life? No idea what fun means to you anymore? You are not alone! Join the conversation to discover:
- The elements of True Fun: playfulness, connection, & flow
- When did fun start to feel more like a luxury than a birthright?
- Know thyself: how can we treat fun like a spiritual practice rather than a break from work?
- The evolution of fun: exposing false or toxic fun; does scheduling fun kill the vibe?
- What are the signs you're in the flow?
- Why does fun sometimes feel like guilt, shame, or rebellion?
- Retrospective fun vs. the pleasure of anticipation
- Fun disconnectors and disrupters (like J.T.'s FOMO)
- The duration and intensity of joy vs. pleasure
- Looking for a good time? Cheap and cheerful ideas: go outside, hike, bike, picnic, volunteer, free museums, library date, swim, (pretend) camp, go to the beach, farmer's market, games, scavenger hunt, sidewalk chalk!
Fun is not a crime. But if it were, we’d be on the run!
