Why Having Fun Is the Secret to a Healthier Life | Catherine Price | TED
Have you had your daily dose of fun? It’s not just enjoyable, it’s also essential for your health and happiness, says science journalist Catherine Price. She proposes a new definition of fun — what she calls “true fun” — and shares easy, evidence-backed ways to weave playfulness, flow and connection into your everyday life. If…

Dear TED, are these kinds of speeches really necessary? The message seems so obvious, already known, such a no-brainer. And her claim that we are ALL “scrolling” but not “living” is utterly false. I quit using social media over six years ago when I realized that it wasn’t “fun.” I go out and live my real life and have fun doing it, as do many of my friends and neighbors. There are possibly some sad technology addicts out there who could use help with pulling themselves out of their rut, but this little speech won’t do it. They probably need proper intervention and therapy

@Gourav Kumar dora Perhaps, but based on her references (skiing, yoga, self-help books, pickleball, mothers at the matinee with flasks tucked in their purses…), her description is appealing to a very specific and privileged demographic. To most of us, all that she says here is patently obvious

Jacek Gacek
July 21, 2022 at 6:24 pm
Easier way to have fun is to have/develop midset to try new and diffrent things, being open to ideas, learn through trial and error. It makes sense, because when we try different things we need to constantly adapt to new circumstences, what make us learn how to adabt and adapt in that moment when we have fun. Our body want us to survive and adapt, so it gives US signals to do things like play, connecting to others, downtime (rest and relax) that make us more adapted. Fun is about diversity. Little changes in our routines can make us feel present, time will be more memorable. Trying new and diffrent things also make us feel that we want to connect with other (thanks to oxcitocine that is produced during fun). When we have fun (midset to try new and different things/play) we adapt to cirtumscances like we are alone or feel alone, and fun make us feel conected and not alone and we feel that we want talk to someone. Fun also make us learn to practice creativity, because during fun we think about trying ideas and implementing them (definition of creativity). And when we develop that mindet of fun and our creativity will grow we start to feel exited about plenty of ideas that comes to our mind and we will try them, without worrying about if it is perfect or not. Fun build in us self confidence, because we learn how to try different strategies, learn through trial and error (learn our abilitiy to improve and convition of it). Confidence definition (Ted 3 ways to build your self confidence) – when know that we have ability to improve you will feel the excitement knowing that whatever the result you will have gained better knowledge and understending. This is confidence.
Learning to try new and different things and creativity are not easy, because we dont have that much ideas in our mind or we fear how other will see us, but we can begin by doing little changes in our routine, so we do something that our brain cant predict and he must adapt to it. After two years of midset to trying new and different things i can make everyday feels exciting, fun (i am more creative, many ideas comes to my mind) , and fun learn us to solve problem so everything its easery for me right now that past two years, and i know how to try different things so i implement ideas to new envirounment like school or work, to see what works for me and what not, so i ” grow” at school or work (become better) . I Also train my ability to Focus like She said in video, (I refocus on one thing over and over again), so everything feels deeper. Fun make us feel like like Kids again, exited, energized, conected to others, optimistic that we know how to adapt and become better, not afraid of failure (we learn from them), without adictions to junk technology (everything that not leads to create, connect, or improving our healths like rest), deppresions (After having fun for long period of time Day by Day for some People IT May be year or longer our brain changes, because their needs are fulfilled and we dont feel symptom of depression) and anxiety (perfectionizm, caring about the result rather than learning, trying different strategies). I hope it will help someone :).

Fun is like sunshine because true light is within. Don’t let anyone take that away from you. Doesn’t matter if they are dear or close to you. Prioritize your happiness because there are people out there who want to detriment that, people like narcissists, fake people, sneaky people who we thought that are good but are really bad for us and for everyone around. We must keep and stay with the light within ourselves.

*For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”*

Hard to be happy and have “fun” when the majority of people in this planet spend the majority of their life working. All simply to provide a roof over their head thats getting more unaffordable by the years and have sustanance in their belly. The remaining few sprinkle of free time is needed to recover energy lost, being sick, cleaning, taxes etc. Not to mention if you are born in a third world country where basic ammenities and constant suffering can be seen on a daily basis. We human beings still treat each other with toxicity, I wish kindness is a more common trait. Once all that is fixed… maybe Ill think about “fun”

It feels like she’s over complicating the concept of fun. I may be projecting, as I tend to over-analyze things myself, and this is causing me to think about optimal ways of having fun, which can detract from the being in the moment of fun. It’s like I’m looking to design a fun algorithm to maximize.

Independently of this being a fabulous talk I appreciate that phrasing of ‘carving out time in one’s schedule’ for something or someone. It’s such a better way to phrase this in English than the often used ‘making time’, because the latter suggests that you just need to try hard enough and additional time will miraculously appear out of thin air – which is certainly not the case. Carving it out is so much closer to the truth, because it actually means something else is gonna have to give way for it (no matter how important or not this other thing is). Non-native speaker getting a little philosophical over here.

Often activity or even conversation DE-volves in competition or one person hogs its. Comparing notes as a BEGINNING like a Pleasant, back & forth Badminton game DE-volves into a cut throat game of tennis at Wimbledon. /// You have to give people Rope, Space, & Time to show you are interested in them. /// Often, I want to kick their soap box out from underneath them. Either conversation stalled or 15 minutes later they are giving you an autobiography INSTEAD OF SHARING.

I totally agree that fun is not just for kids, and that there’s something deeper going on about the word fun. Actually thinking back, fun is the only thing that has motivated me all the way through. For example, in Korea, my generation began to learn English in middle school, and learning English was so much fun I wished the class would never end! And I really had fun working after school graduation. Then, when I find some kind of hidden truth about like history, that’s so much fun that it makes me forget time and space. So you’re right that having fun is not frivolous. Fun is something that has deeper aspects in it. When there’s nothing fun, I feel empty. So you’re right once again! Having fun makes you feel alive!!!

One of the GREATEST tips on having fun that has worked wonders in my life, and uplifted my friends when I told them is this: “It’s only embarrassing if you’re embarrassed’. Far too often, do we miss out on having fun due to the fear of what other people will think or perceive us. For example, I used to hate dances. I thought, why would it be fun at all to go out in front of everyone without a plan and let them judge me on what a bad dancer I am. Now as I’ve matured, I’ve realized that the key to having fun is just not caring. I’ve recently had so much fun at dances by just feeling the music and letting my body do whatever it wants. Smiling and laughing with friends and just sort of meditating in the feeling of bliss. Feeling the vibrations of the music and not caring about what other people thought. Plus, when you exuberate confidence, people tend to think higher of you because they think subconsciously: if she’s not embarrassed, it must not be embarrassing, just silly and fun

I love the comment about doing things to do them and not caring too much about the outcome! That’s how I approach my personal life (clearly, not my professional one)… especially when I try new things (like roller skating in my 40s). So many people I’ve met, especially once they hit 40, are like “I don’t really like doing that. It’s never been my thing. I feel like people will be watching me thinking what is he/she doing. Etc etc.” How boring and how sad! Get over yourself and get out and try new things. Otherwise, you’ll have a very sad, boring & lonely life…one that was hardly lived. You’ll be more prone to illness & physically, you’re more likely to end up with chronic disease. Live a little!

It’s great idea, the more we have fun the more alive we feel. Using all day long the phone is become a nightmare for human being. Even for boosting our resilience we should have fun. I’d like to find people who is interested in the entertainment

Fun. Yea that’s why I joined the trump train. The rallies are sooooo much fun! Hugs, high fives, smiles. Go to a Democrat rally. Rage, resentment, vengeance, try going with a trump t shirt. Come to a trump rally with a Biden shirt? We’ll make fun of you, but in a friendly way!!

It would have been more helpful if she talked about how introverts can experience fun when solitude is how we recharge. Her way of fun is still leaned more towards extroverts.

I miss the days my niece and nephew (twins) would come up to me and ask, “Will you play with me?” Holidays, when we’d all gather at my parents’ house, were filled with laughter. Constant laughter. It was never quiet. But then they were each given an iPad about 4 years ago for Christmas. They are now 12 years old and it seems they would much rather play with iPads than anything or anyone else.

I’m noticing a pattern. Some of the best TED talks are the same ones that shouldn’t even exist because of how important and how common sense they should be for everyone to have a decent life. And yet, they are currently necessary because of how fucked up our lives have become.

loved the idea and the talk! the only aspect I would like to differ on is that it is equally fulfilling and rewarding to have fun by yourself, if not more
I believe finding the courage to rebel by yourself and connecting with your surroundings itself can be just as fun

I 100% agree with her. Fun is the best way to live life, the biggest healing power in the world which can cure many physical & mental health issues.
For me, living life with fun is most important thing & happiness is the main ingredient of life.
On 12th November 2025, I will also speak in TEDx & inspire people with my life journey story. How I heal my life path by having fun in whichever manner I could, by doing many things, which I love to do. This is the biggest willpower for me through which I get what I want. This makes the environment & people with me feels awesome.

Very true that we all have fun and its good to have fun but I do have fun the way I interact with others or something. Like a long time ago I went for my uncle’s graduation party and it was really fun like for instance we ate, had drinks and chatted and got to know people at the party. Many things happened at the party. We cut the cake in order to appreciate my uncle’s achievement and there was full of music

What is she talking till 5 minutes? She has no idea what she is talking about, definition of fun? Is going to be always diffrent for diffrent human groups,breading books abou happiness? Maybe humor but i for gange create humor so i am in my zone of humor with coping with abuse adversity always thrust on my head more so intensily last 14 years and last year till now with unbelievable abuse with millions spent on it,why? No idea it will be revealed though it cannot remain hidden not with such amount of monies spent…

Having fun is really helpful in every situation, be it work, study, everyday routine or something else. I remember when I was a kid and got ill in New Year my temperature increased and didn’t go down. The only thing that helped me was having fun. My family cheered me up, we gifted each other presents and had a lot of fun, then I noticed that I don’t feel high temperature. It really decreased, after that I understood that in every situation having fun is the best solution.

Feeling alive is a tough one. Lots of us do activities that are dangerous to make us feel alive, the closer you come to death, you appreciate being alive. Playful, connection, flow, danger, we prioritized FUN 4 years ago when we sold everything, moved into an RV and have travelled all over the US and canada, Larry
