Fun Is a Trainable Skill (And It Doesn't Involve Your Phone) | Catherine Price

Fun Is a Trainable Skill (And It Doesn't Involve Your Phone) | Catherine Price

At a time like this, fun may seem frivolous. But our guest today is going to argue — convincingly, in my opinion — that fun is absolutely essential to a well-lived life. She has thought deeply about what actually constitutes fun, and how we can best live a life that is conducive to fun. In other words, she argues that fun is a trainable skill. You may have heard of Catherine Price. She's been on the show before. She wrote an excellent book called How To Break Up With Your Phone, which had a significant influence on me. We start our conversation by talking about ways to achieve what she calls "screen/life balance" during a time of pandemic and political upheaval, and then we flow directly into fun, which is something you can only have when you put your phone down.

Susan Piver, Buddhist Wisdom for Modern Relationships

Susan Piver was a tough girl. Like, crime-fighting, head of the Boston chapter of the Guardian Angels tough. After nearly being killed by a drunk driver, her path led her to yoga, meditation and Buddhism -- which, by her own admission, made her "soft." But, only by softening toward herself, was she able to soften toward others.
