- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I had wanted to read this book written by the owner of the St. Paul Saints for quite some time. When I found it on audio book I couldn't pass it up. This book was more amazing than I had hoped for. It is not just on the Saints but really about how to apply the same attitude that makes the St. Paul Saints the best entertainment dollar in the Twin Cities (even though they compete against superior products like the Minnesota Twins, and the Minnesota Wild) to YOUR work place. Frequently I will recommend books I liked to friends/family, rarely I will go as far to purchase it myself. This one was so good that I actually purchased another copy of the audio book before I even finished it. Its not just a self-help book either. It truly is great art. I argue that great art is that which provokes an emotional response, and this audio book had me laughing, and crying, more times than anything I have ever heard. I just hope I can find the courage to make "Fun is Good" in my workplace, or find another if its rejected here.
