About this audiobook
“A hands-on, life-changing book about bringing intent to the way we spend most of our time. We've created so many ways to be unhappy with our work, Bree Groff is here to help us change that.”
―Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance
"I loved this exuberant, practical, inspiring, and necessary book."
—Oliver Burkeman, New York Times-bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mortals
"Work doesn't have to be grim, nor the source of all your deepest yearnings. It can, instead, simply be fun—one enjoyable thing among many in a full life. I'm convinced!"
—Cal Newport, New York Times–bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Deep Work
A refreshing and unconventional take on the world of work.
Today Was Fun challenges the notion that professionalism means being buttoned up and overworked and provides seven key rules for better days at work and in life. It's a book serious in message, playful in tone, and written in snackable vignettes, easily enjoyed.
Bree weaves together personal anecdotes, research, humor, and practical wisdom, outlining a compelling vision of modern workplaces that make people feel human and alive. She provides concrete practices, from Do Nothing Days for inducing brilliant work to building a Portfolio Life that ensures work remains only one of many fulfilling things we do.
An irreverent guide for those who want more than “getting through the week,” Today Was Fun is poised to spark vital conversations about how we spend our days―promoting a fuller, more joyful life both in and out of the office.
