Play Hard—Have Fun

by Phil Martin

Fun is universal. People love to smile, laugh, and giggle while they wear silly hats and sing karaoke. As an actor, college professor, and theatre director with more than thirty years of experience, author Phil Martin understands there’s another kind of fun that’s deeper, more rewarding, and ultimately more satisfying—a fun that comes from doing meaningful work well.

Play Hard—Have Fun explores the deep feeling of joy experienced through the hard work put into pursuing a valued goal—not focusing on the outcome, but on the progress and process of understanding that true success comes from within.

Through stories and personal anecdotes, Martin describes his two-step philosophy: Fun happens during a great performance and a great performance is the result of the effort dedicated to its preparation.

About the author

I grew up in the creative cauldron of nineties Manchester when Madchester rocked the charts and the Hacienda ruled clubland. The city has shaped me as a writer. I write thrillers and crime based on the fine folk of Manchester and Salford. The Little Girl Lost trilogy has however developed into an international thriller taking in Manchester, Morocco, London, Barcelona, Monza, Zurich, Moscow, Chechnya, Batumi and... Milton Keynes.
