ABOUT

“A powerful system for making fun a vital part of your business strategy” from the author of The Myth of Multitasking (Asher Raphael, Co-CEO and partner, Power Home Remodeling).

Fun is the key to success!

If you want to be successful, having fun is not an option. It’s a necessity. By making fun a top priority—taking meaningful, enjoyable breaks each day, week, month, and year—you’ll not only be happier but be more productive, too!

Using scientific evidence, real-world case studies, and a healthy dose of wit, bestselling author Dave Crenshaw shows that a regular respite is like a little oasis in your workday. It refreshes and reinvigorates, recharges your batteries—helping you accomplish more with less effort!

The Power of Having Fun coaches you through the five-step system thousands of leaders have utilized to boost productivity and propel their careers—all while feeling fantastic! Let Dave Crenshaw lower your stress, raise your results, and restore recess to your routine.

“The simple wisdom in Dave’s book might just change your life.” —Seth Godin, New York Times-bestselling author of This Is Marketing

“Let’s face it, the nine-to-five workday is a thing of the past. Dave really gets that the companies that will ultimately succeed are those that embrace the flexible workday and empower their employees.” —Brian Halligan, cofounder and CEO, HubSpot

“The principles Dave teaches in this book have helped me be not only a more productive leader but a more grounded human being. Dave’s influence in my life and career has been invaluable.” —Catherine Hoke, founder and CEO, Defy Ventures

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
