Playfulness is not just for children, but it is equally important for adults. It’s good for our personal health, our work, our connections, and our communities.
And why not? We’re all about encouraging more play and playfulness in all of our lives.
We scoured the internet, read books, and talked with experts. All to understand why more doesn’t exist on the importance of play and playfulness for adults. There is a ton out there on kids but not so much on adults. Why is that?
Papers and books years ago included eye-popping ideas. Many of these resources are now buried deep online. The world-renowned experts perhaps passed, found their work to become too esoteric, and perhaps shifted their focus to other areas of popular interest such as happiness or fun.
Along the way, we unearthed and are now curating some nifty content. Much of it is smart, actionable, entertaining, inspiring, and worth sharing.
Practice Playfulness will incorporate different mental models to explore and learn about play and playfulness. We are lay people. We don’t work in academia but we do care about science and we work with scientists often to shed light on the academic research. Bring it down to earth. Yet keep it easy, breezy, and approachable.
Contemporary ideas in the popular press on play and playfulness will also pop up. We won’t clutter our content (or your inbox). That’s not very playful. We hope you’ll join us and play along.
Remember, playfulness is not about being childish, but rather embracing a lighthearted and curious mindset to unlock the benefits it offers. So, don’t hesitate to embrace playfulness in your life and experience the positive impact it can have on your overall well-being.
