00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>This is the WBZ Book Club. Jordan Rich with you.

2
00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>If you're one of the many and I mean many

3
00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:07.519
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't necessarily enjoy your time punching the clock and

4
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:09.439
<v Speaker 1>going to work every day, here's a book that might

5
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.000
<v Speaker 1>interest you. It's called Today Was Fun? A Book about

6
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Work Seriously. The author is consultant Brie Groth, and she

7
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>contends that most work, for most days should be fun

8
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>and how to achieve that. Her mantra quote what work

9
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>would be the most fun to do. It's basically a

10
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>how to series of tips for managers on bringing fun

11
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>back to the workplace to maximize the quality of the

12
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>work and not focus as much on the amount of

13
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 1>work getting done. Now, this philosophy doesn't sit well with

14
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>every boss, and not every job or career necessarily has

15
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>the fun option, but the author makes a good case,

16
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and an entertaining one, that the more enjoyable the job is,

17
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the more creative and productive the workers will be. There's

18
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 1>plenty of advice for employees too, to stop putting their

19
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>work over everything else in life. Today Was Fun? A

20
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.039
