Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Building on her last audiobook, about breaking our smartphone addiction, the author draws an interesting distinction between genuine fun--playfulness, connection with others, creative flow--and addictive distractions like social media or aimless shopping, which she calls fake fun. Price is an intelligent and friendly-sounding narrator with a youthful voice and low-key enthusiasm for her ideas. Her relaxed performance draws listeners into her message. As a writer, she achieves the remarkable feat of pulling together a vast amount of research and viewpoints while making everything sound relevant to her listeners' experience. To help us escape the trap of overwork and mindless distractions, she provides inspiration and practical tools for reclaiming fun as an important part of our lives.
