Publisher's Description
When was the last time you had some good and serious fun? If your to-do list has become the boss of you, if you're so exhausted and overwhelmed you can't remember--all of that is about to change. Have More Fun is your crash course to getting unstuck, laughing freely, and enjoying the ride. MOPS International CEO, Mandy Arioto, is known to thousands worldwide as a lively storyteller, a force of hope, and an audacious risk-taker. She brings it all in this rollicking adventure of an audiobook bent on helping you do more of what makes you come alive. Have More Fun is for anyone who has forgotten that fun is an option. In a world where political dramas and cultural uncertainties churn through our news feed every day, Mandy is here to suggest that the answer to many of the most pressing questions is fun. How do I get more done? Fun. How do I parent in meaningful ways? Fun. How do I make friends? Fun. How can I find my purpose? Fun. How do I spice up my sex life? Fun. How do I adapt when things don't go as planned? Fun. How do I improve my marriage? Fun. Not to mention that choosing fun can be a spiritual discipline--a place to experience the boundless love and joy of God in everyday, surprising ways. If you have ever waited until your to-do list is finished to have fun or you can't remember the last time you really laughed, it is possible you might be taking life, work, or parenting too seriously. Weaving together science, historical trends, hilarious stories, practical ideas and spiritual truth, Mandy uncovers fresh ways to take fun seriously instead.

“I don’t want to get to the end of my life and realize that the best thing about me was that I was really good at keeping up with my email.” Yikes. She totally got me. Right. Where. I. Live. I’m great at emails and less great at fun. Okay, I’m not terrible at having fun. But here in Mandy’s honest, inviting, winsome, and playful style I see what I haven’t before. Beyond playing with grandkids. Beyond entertaining audiences. Beyond my hobby of reading or walking my dogs. A divine version of life-giving fun is waiting for me in the here and now of my everyday. And I’m going to embrace it.”
