Description

Ben Aitken's year of making merry was a deliberate attempt to shake off his feelings of flatness and find joy in everyday activities.

He joined a lawn bowls club, took up cheerleading, went cold-water swimming, and even tried new pursuits like improv and wakeboarding. The results were mixed, but the author found that filling his calendar with potentially pleasurable activities left him feeling better.

The story of Aitken's year of making merry raises an interesting question: if fun is a reliable mood-swinger, shouldn't we be having more of it? This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the pursuit of happiness and the importance of finding joy in everyday life.
