Overview

The leader of one of Atlanta’s best-loved brands shares seven ways to actually enjoy your job—and how doing so will enhance not only your career but also your life.

Too many of us go about our work solely to make money to serve our “real” lives after the workday ends. But what if we could make our work fun instead, not by switching careers or seeking a raise, but by shifting our mindset and incorporating seven simple but game-changing principles into our workplaces?

In Work Is Fun, Steven Carse, Cofounder of the King of Pops hand-crafted popsicles brand, shares his story of how optimizing daily tasks for enjoyment and job satisfaction, including measuring success outside of mere monetary terms, has transformed Carse’s life, community, and business.

Full of simple, practical insights and examples from Carse’s inspiring story, Work Is Fun will challenge you to completely rethink how you approach work, teaching you how to have fun through:
  • Living out a powerful story
  • Finding freedom in your job
  • Taking pride in your work
  • Slowing down and enjoying the present
  • Incorporating play into your workplace
  • Creating a strong team spirit
  • Finding balance across changing business cycles

The truth is that you can be happy at work, and Carse’s company has proven that it makes good business sense, too. Young professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs of all kinds will find encouragement and inspiration in Carse’s story to transform every area of their lives—and have fun while doing it, too!

About the Author

After being laid off from his corporate job in 2009, Steve Carse moved onto his brother's couch and committed all of his energy to one idea—create the best popsicles ever made. Inspired by the Latin American fresh fruit paletas, Steven and his brother Nick created delicious flavors of local and natural handmade pops. Starting with a humble ice cream pushcart, King of Pops is now a favorite across the South and an Atlanta staple. King of Pops can be found at events like Bonnaroo, your closest Whole Foods Market and your neighbor’s backyard barbecue.
