I remember a night that felt like magic — laughter echoing through the room, food shared without restraint, games played with childlike abandon. For a few blissful hours, the weight of adulthood lifted. I was fully alive — not chasing joy, but living it. Later, as I recalled that evening, I realized I had rediscovered something profound: the essence of true fun. Catherine Price, in her book The Power of Fun, captures this very phenomenon — the rare, soul-deep joy that revives us when life feels heavy.
Price’s writing is not about superficial amusement or fleeting pleasure. It’s about connection, play, and flow — the trinity of authentic fun. Through personal stories, research, and relatable humor, she reminds us that fun isn’t frivolous; it’s a lifeline. Her insights reveal that fun restores hope, strengthens relationships, and reconnects us with our most alive selves. Reading The Power of Fun feels like getting permission to breathe again — to reclaim joy not as a luxury, but as a vital part of living well.
7 Lessons from The Power of Fun
