Book description:
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.
What the big dogs are saying about the book:

"I loved this exuberant, practical, inspiring, and necessary book."
―Oliver Burkeman, New York Times-bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mortals

―Cal Newport, New York Times–bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Deep Work
