A Serious Argument for Making Work Fun

Most people count down to Friday. Bree Groff thinks that’s a problem—and a fixable one. In her new book Today Was Fun, she makes the case that joy at work isn’t a perk, it’s the point.

In this episode of Great Mondays Radio, Bree joins Josh Levine to share how finding fun in the work—not just around it—can spark creativity, improve performance, and make life better. They dig into why “good enough” is a trap, how to focus your limited energy where brilliance matters most, and why defending your time is an act of rebellion. This isn’t about ping-pong tables or happy hours. It’s about designing days you don’t want to rush through. If you’ve ever wondered whether joy and productivity can actually go hand in hand, this conversation might just change the way you think about Mondays.
