Summary of Catherine Price's The Power of Fun

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Fun is a difficult word to define.

We often use the word to describe any activity that we perceive as unrelated to work.

But this use of fun categorizes activities more by what they are not than by the specific characteristics that they share.#2 The word fun is extremely elusive, and yet we all know what it feels like.

It is a biological drive to seek it out, and yet it resists all analysis.#3 I analyzed my own experiences through the lens of positive psychology to identify possible elements that might be definitional to the experience of True Fun.

I then asked people to describe a fun event or experience they would love to organize or be a part of in the future.#4 Fun is the feeling you get when you're doing something you enjoy.

It is a combination of laughter and creation and celebration.

It is unadulterated joy, and it is imprinted on my DNA.
