The Theory of Fun: A Daily "Fun-o-Meter" Journal Practice Ep53

How to Save the World | The Psychology & Science of Environmental Behavior

Do you gauge the quality of your work, content, and life by how "fun" it is? Weird secret - I used to HATE being asked what I did "for fun." In this episode, I share how I started taking the theory and pursuit of fun more "seriously" (lol) as a daily practice and how it's changed everything. I discovered how asking this one question "What is the most fun thing I could do?" can breathe magic into your environmental work, expand your creativity, and unexpectedly redirect you more closely to your true calling. I share more on the theory of fun, the dopamine system, and how the pursuit of fun is an essential driver of innovation and growth. * * * How to Save the World is a podcast about the psychology of what gets people to do eco-behaviors and take climate action: Environmental engineer, designer, and author, Katie Patrick, hunts down the latest behavioral science literature from top universities such as Harvard, MIT, and Stanford to unearth the evidence-based teachings you can use to rapidly get more people to adopt your environmental campaign, program, or product.
