Özet
 THE NEW AUDIOBOOK FROM THE MUCH-LOVED AUTHOR OF THE GRAN TOUR, A CHIP SHOP IN POZNAN AND THE MARMALADE DIARIES

Food fights, fishing and French cooking - bestselling author Ben Aitken's year of actively pursuing fun

Ben Aitken wasn't getting enough. He knew it and so did everyone else. He was grumpy, increasingly boring, mostly joyless. So, he joined a lawn bowls club. A week later, he doubled down on the doldrums by learning to dance like they do in Bollywood. Then - with an almost entirely reformed selfhood winking appealingly just around the corner - he started swimming in cold water and was back to square one.

Despite the setbacks (and hyperventilation), it was becoming clear to him that the very pursuit of fun was a great way of not feeling naff. And so he made a vow to have as much of the f-stuff as he possibly could.

Taking a liberal approach to the subject, he sought out things that he used to find fun a long time ago (i.e. food fights and wrestling); things that he'd never done before but reckoned could be fun (boozy French cooking classes, tantric sex); things whose fun-factor was less obvious and more down to earth (nostalgia, volunteering, edible gardening, watching chickens); and things that he wasn't at all sure about but were fun according to other people (gym classes, caving, TikTok). Unsurprisingly, the results were mixed, but he was undoubtedly left feeling ... better. Which left him asking, if fun is the finest medicine, why do we stop doing it?©2023 Ben Aitken (P)2023 W.F.Howes Ltd Cooking Food & Wine Water Sports Komedi

I've listened to 3 of Ben's books now, they make me laugh, they are full of profound one liners and the dry British comedy is great.

I love Ben's books

I’ve read a few of Ben Aitken’s books now, and this is another excellent one. They are very droll in a particularly British way, very astutely observed, and somehow hilarious while sneakily slipping in some quite deep philosophical points. I suspect that you’ll either “get” his humour and point of view, or you won’t, but I loved it.

Another excellent book!

I couldn’t listen to the whole book it was too irritating, such a shame it would have been enjoyable with a different reader
