Discover your Hobby Persona
and start living more joyfully.
Hobbies give us back what modern life has taken.
Hobbies give us a Third Identity
entirely 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 what your Third Identity is yet.
Created by Marina Cooley, the Hobby Persona Quiz helps you better understand your inner hobbyist and matches you with the right hobby ideas for you.
