In this episode of "The Psychology of Your 20s," Jemma Sbeg explores the concept of fun and its importance, particularly in the context of adulthood. Inspired by Mike Rucker's book, "The Fun Habit," Jemma discusses how prioritizing fun can lead to increased happiness, psychological flexibility, and improved neuroplasticity. She introduces the idea of Type 1 (typical, enjoyable) and Type 2 (requiring effort, leading to accomplishment) fun, advocating for more Type 2 experiences. Jemma shares personal anecdotes and listener contributions, providing practical tips for integrating fun into daily life, such as scheduling fun activities, involving others, gamifying mundane tasks, and embracing one's inner child.
