The Fun Habit

Mike Rucker brings real positive psychology credentials to a genuine problem — adults who've squeezed joy out of their schedules — and the Fun File and photography anchoring strategies are more concrete than most self-help offers. The Hall of Fun sidebars make the research feel accessible rather than lecture-y. If you're in the burnout-prone professional crowd, this is worth the time; if you resist the idea of scheduling spontaneity, you may bristle at the approach.
