Some of the topics we covered include:
- Understanding the crucial difference between happiness and fun and why it’s so important to humans young and old.
- The Rucker Play Model
- How adults have become paralyzed by conditioning which directly impacts our ability to have fun
- The trifecta of events that triggered a journey of discovery into the ‘science of fun’
- A devaluing of self-care
- Hustle porn and how it skews our perception and negatively impacts how we function
