The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again
Catherine Price
After talking with @Catherine_Price about her great new book THE POWER OF FUN and the value of doing that we enjoy even if we’re rubbish at them, I can tell myself that being terrible at yoga is a protest against the overweening culture of perfectionism.
