The story about myself that I tell in my book The Fun Habit starts in 2016, when the tools
that I had built as a student of positive psychology suddenly failed me during one of my
life’s most difficult stretches. Finding myself unhappy, a bit lonely, and burnt out, I began to
critically evaluate modern approaches to happiness. I quickly realized how much
misinformation is out there. Years of research coalesced as The Fun Habit. The Fun Habit is
an action-based approach that helps you critically examine your pursuit of happiness and
make adjustments using evidence-based practices to invite more fun and joy in your life. If
you’re looking for a better way toward happiness, I invite you to sign up.
