Journalist and screen/life balance expert Catherine Price argues persuasively that our always-on, tech-addicted lifestyles have led us to obsess over intangible concepts such as happiness while obscuring the fact that real happiness lies in the everyday experience of fun. We often think of fun as indulgent, even immature and selfish. We claim to not have time for it, even as we find hours a day for what Price calls "Fake Fun"--bingeing on television, doom-scrolling the news, or posting photos to social media, all in hopes of filling some of the emptiness we feel inside..In this follow-up to her hit book, How to Break Up with Your Phone, Price makes the case that True Fun--which she defines as the magical confluence of playfulness, connection, and flow--will give us the fulfillment we so desperately seek. If you use True Fun as your compass, you will be happier and healthier. You will be more productive, less resentful, and less stressed. You will have more energy. You will find community and a sense of purpose. You will stop languishing and start flourishing. And best of all? You'll enjoy the process.Weaving together scientific research with personal experience, Price reveals the surprising mental, physical, and cognitive benefits of fun, and offers a practical, personalized plan for how we can achieve better screen/life balance and attract more True Fun into our daily lives--without feeling overwhelmed.
Most of us know nothing about vitamins. What's more, what we think we know is harming both our personal nutrition and our national health. By focusing on vitamins at the expense of everything else, we've become blind to the bigger picture: despite our belief that vitamins are an absolute good--and the more of them, the better--vitamins are actually small and surprisingly mysterious pieces of a much larger nutritional puzzle. In Vitamania, award-winning journalist Catherine Price offers a lucid and lively journey through our cherished yet misguided beliefs about vitamins and reveals a straightforward, blessedly anxiety-free path to enjoyable eating and good health.

Keep a daily record of lifes little blessings with this keepsake gratitude journal filled with a years worth of insightful prompts inspiring quotes and ample room for reflecting on all the things that make life great
Mindfulness has become a buzzword today, cropping up everywhere from schools to hospitals to yoga classes to corporate board meetings. But what is mindfulness,exactly? What are its benefits? Why has it become so popular? And--perhaps most importantly--how can you incorporate mindfulness into your own life, especially if you've never tried it before? In the sleek and beautiful A Journal , award-winning author Catherine Price (also author of the best-selling A Journal and How Vitamins Revolutionized the Way We Think About Food ) demystifies mindfulness and helps readers take the first steps toward establishing their own mindfulness practices. After a brief introduction to mindfulness and its frequent partner, mindfulness-based meditation, the journal gently guides readers through a series of writing prompts, exercises and inspirational quotes. It ends with a list of recommended resources, ranging from books to apps to in-person and virtual mindfulness classes, that readers can turn to if they wish to deepen their practice. A perfect and thoughtful gift, A Journal is designed to provide a structured, clear and un-intimidating introduction to mindfulness that anyone can use. Beautifully designed and a pleasure to write in, it has the capacity to truly change people's lives. as several reviewers have pointed out, mindfulness is a secular practice, and this is not designed as a devotional journal--though of course you can use it however you please.
Glück und Lebensfreude scheinen für viele Menschen das wichtigste Ziel im Leben zu sein. Seltsam, dass wir uns dennoch so wenig darum kümmern. So ging es auch Catherine Price. Als junge Mutter fand sie sich in einem Alltag wieder, der fast nur noch aus Pflichterfüllung bestand. Sie beschloss, sich auf die Suche nach der Freude zu machen. Und als sie sah, wie spärlich die Forschung zu Spaß und Freude ist, startete sie selbst eine Umfrage, an der sich mehr als 1.500 Menschen aus aller Welt beteiligten.Wie kann man Freude finden? Wie wirkt sich Freude auf unser Gehirn, unseren Körper und unsere Gesundheit aus? Freude und Glücklichsein, Zerstreuung, Spaß und Vergnügen – wie können wir das voneinander unterscheiden? Und wie wirken eigentlich Dopamin und Serotonin? Bei ihrer Recherche machte sie drei Faktoren aus, die zusammenkommen müssen, damit wir tiefe Freude Flow, Spiel und Verbundenheit. Wie wir diese drei Glücklichmacher finden und ihnen wieder mehr Raum in unserem Alltag geben können, erklärt die Autorin. Dazu hat sie zehn Fragebögen entwickelt, die den Leser*innen helfen, ihr eigenes Rezept für mehr Freude im Leben zu finden.»Dem Ernst des Lebens sollte man mit Spaß begegnen. Catherine Price hat die perfekte Anleitung zum vergnügten Widerstand geschrieben.« MATZE HIELSCHER
