S4/E2 Why Play and Playfulness Is A Worthwhile Persuit

In our conversation today we explore the multifaceted concept of play, emphasizing its significance in human development, behavior change, and adult life. We discuss how play is often overlooked in adulthood, despite its benefits for learning, connection, and emotional well-being.  Our chat highlights the individual nature of play, the importance of a playful attitude, and the potential for play to foster positive relationships and personal growth.   We also discuss play's connection to vulnerability, shame, and ego and how it generates creativity, emotional regulation, and life satisfaction.     We really hope you'll join us inside this FUN conversation.
