Lessons from The Fuller Life Man
This paper discusses the teaching effectiveness of The Fuller Life Man, a short fictional account of a door-to-door salesman selling the necessary ingredients for living a good and purposeful life. The researchers pilot tested The Fuller Life Man in two college courses at the University of Utah, Leisure in Your Life, a general education course (n = 24), and Outdoor Recreation and Leadership, an honors college course (n = 21). Students from both c…
The biochemistry behind human behavior
This research reflection explores the relationship between biochemistry and human behavior. More specifically, it examines the implications associated with two neural pathways in the brain, one leading to pleasure and the other to contentment. After describing how the two pathways work and where they lead, we turn the reader’s attention to the implications for leisure sciences and services, including the way we think about leisure behavior, how w…
The Experiencing Self and the Remembering Self
In this research reflection we question the way leisure experience is commonly understood and how leisure science is commonly conducted. Specifically, we focus on advances in multiple self-theory popularized by Daniel Kahneman in Thinking, Fast and Slow, an in-depth examination of human thought processes. After establishing Kahneman's foundational perspective, we apply his thinking to leisure experience and leisure science by reviewing recent sch…
Towards a model of optimal family leisure
Leisure is an important component of family life, yet many families struggle to focus on or participate in family leisure. This study examined the structural characteristics of family life that can impede or promote family leisure. Employing a systems perspective, a literature-based model of family leisure was created, and in-depth interview data were gathered from three families to compare to the model. Results indicated that while the content o…
Family Tourism
People and Nature
Striving for a healthier relationship among individuals, families, communities, nations, and the environment is imperative at a time in history when humankind can change the face of the earth in monumental ways. This dynamic health relationship, with an emphasis on the contributions of parks, recreation, and tourism to health promotion, is the subject of this article. A broader conception of health that moves beyond human physical and mental heal…
