      Glück und Lebensfreude scheinen für viele Menschen das wichtigste Ziel im Leben zu sein. Seltsam, dass wir uns dennoch so wenig darum kümmern. So war es auch bei 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 mehr Freude und Spaß zu machen. Und als sie sah, wie spärlich die Forschung zu diesem Thema ist, startete sie selbst eine Umfrage, an der sich mehr als 1.500 Menschen aus aller Welt beteiligten. Auf Grundlage ihrer umfangreichen Recherche macht Catherine Price drei Faktoren aus, die zusammenkommen müssen, damit wir tiefe Freude empfinden: Flow, Spiel und Verbundenheit. Mithilfe zahlreicher Beispiele und Fragebögen zeigt die Autorin, wie wir diese drei Faktoren zu Spaßgaranten kombinieren und so unser eigenes Rezept für mehr Freude im Leben finden. »Dem Ernst des Lebens sollte man mit Spaß begegnen. Catherine Price hat die perfekte Anleitung zum vergnügten Widerstand geschrieben.« MATZE HIELSCHER, GASTGEBER VON HOTEL MATZE

      "In our always-on, productivity-addicted lifestyles, we tend to think of the pursuit of fun as being indulgent, even immature and childish. When we do find the time to relax or care for ourselves, we tend to turn to activities that are not actually restorative: binging Netflix, scrolling through Twitter, or indulging our FOMO on Instagram. Through years of research, journalist Catherine Price has learned the truth: far from being frivolous or a distraction, fun is actually the secret to achieving our goals. If you reorient your life around what you personally find fun--true fun--you will be happier and healthier. You will be more productive, less resentful, and less stressed. You will have more energy, for yourself and for other people. You will find community and a sense of purpose. You will feel alive again"--Publisher's description.

    • Vitamania

      How Vitamins Revolutionized the Way We Think About Food

      • 12 hours of reading

      Most of us lack a true understanding of vitamins, and our misconceptions can negatively impact our nutrition and health. By fixating on vitamins, we often overlook the broader nutritional landscape. Despite the common belief that more vitamins equate to better health, they are merely components of a complex nutritional puzzle. Award-winning journalist Catherine Price takes readers on a captivating journey through our flawed perceptions of vitamins, advocating for a more enjoyable and balanced approach to eating. The discovery of vitamins revolutionized health by preventing diseases, but their commercialization led to a distorted view of nutrition. The term “vitamania” emerged in the 1940s, reflecting how vitamins transitioned from scientific discovery to marketing hype. This obsession has fostered a misleading belief that specific dietary substances can serve as shortcuts to health, contributing to the unregulated dietary supplement industry filled with dubious claims. Price’s exploration of vitamin manufacturers, food labs, and military kitchens, combined with her historical insights, creates an engaging narrative. Ultimately, she encourages us to embrace the uncertainty surrounding nutrition rather than obsess over it. The book is praised for its engaging storytelling and informative content, making it a must-read for anyone interested in vitamins and health.
