Hobbies are a simple solution to some of our most complex problems
like burnout, loneliness, and overwhelm.
and start living more joyfully.
Solve your problems with a hobby:
Hobbies give us a Third Identity.
separate from what we do and who we are to our families.
Psychologists have found holding multiple identities acts as a buffer to stress. When one domain falters, like when we have a bad day at work or feel like we’ve messed up as a parent, our other identities stabilize us.
You may not know exactly who your Third Identity is yet.

About Marina Cooley
Hi, I’m Marina. I’m a work-life balance researcher, educator, and writer.
In search of what makes a life happier, healthier, and more balanced I traveled to Denmark, one of the world’s happiest countries. I expected to find answers in shorter workweeks, generous social policies, and better work-life balance. Instead, I found something hiding in plain sight: hobbies.
When I returned to the US, I tried 17 hobbies myself and poured myself into hobby research. Now, I’m on a mission to help you get a hobby.
