Nashville, TN.... January 8, 2021 - Best-selling author, podcaster, and who many call the Expert on Fun, Annie F. Downs shares that "fun is the medicine we all need now more than ever," and her fans agree as preorders for her upcoming book, That Sounds Fun (2.2.21) skyrocket. As we enter into a new year, especially after 2020, comments like "The world needs this book right now!" and "Your words are so important for all of us," are filling Downs' social media feeds. To note, fans who preorder the book can also download the audiobook for free HERE.
"If I'm going to be known for one thing on this planet, I kind of like being known for fun," Downs says in a recently released book trailer. "When I started the podcast and began asking people what sounds fun to them, my eyes were opened! We undervalue and downplay fun and the place fun ought to have in our lives. We don't prioritize the fun things; the simple things. Finding fun changes things. Fun is medicine for a sickness we all have. Searching for fun doesn't mean you're not responsible, and valuing fun doesn't mean you're not grown up! It just means you realize there's something you've lost and are willing to go look for it."
In That Sounds Fun, Downs offers an irresistible invitation to understand the meaning of fun, to embrace it and chase it, and to figure out what, exactly, sounds fun to you – then do it! Exploring some research and sharing some thoughts about why fun matters, she shows you how to find, experience, and multiply your fun. With her signature storytelling style and whimsical vulnerability, Annie F. Downs is the friend we all need to guide us back to staying true to ourselves and finding the fun we need.
