In a world that is increasingly obsessed with health and safety, it's easy to forget that one of the most important things in life is fun. We're constantly being told that we should be eating healthy, exercising, and getting enough sleep. But what about the things that make us happy? What about the things that make us laugh and smile? What about the things that help us forget about our troubles for a while?

In his new book, Bad For You, David Zinczenko argues that we've been waging a war on fun for centuries. He traces the roots of this war back to the Puritans, who believed that anything that was enjoyable was inherently sinful. This belief has been passed down through the generations, and it's still with us today. We see it in the way we talk about food, exercise, and even sex. We're constantly being told that we should be ng things that are good for us, even if we don't enjoy them.

Zinczenko argues that this war on fun is having a devastating impact on our society. He says that it's making us more stressed, anxious, and depressed. It's also making us more isolated and less connected to each other. We're so busy trying to be healthy and perfect that we're forgetting how to live.

Zinczenko's book is a call to arms. He urges us to reject the war on fun and to start enjoying ourselves again. He says that we need to make time for the things that make us happy, even if they're not good for us. We need to laugh, we need to play, and we need to connect with each other. We need to remember that life is short, and that we should all be enjoying it as much as we can.

Bad For You is a timely and important book. It's a reminder that fun is essential for our well-being, and that we should never let anyone tell us otherwise.
