Discover how to reconnect with the child in you and unlock the
transformative power of play to live a more joyful life. Can you
remember the utter delight of playing chase in the park, flying a
kite in the summer breeze, or sinking your hands into a box of
paints? As children, playing is how we make sense of the world and
our place in it. Why then, as adults, do we forget how to play?
Drawing on over twenty years of neuroscientific research,
psychotherapist Joanna Fortune has discovered that play is the key
to living a happier and more meaningful life. She shares the
social, emotional, and physical health benefits of why it's so good
for us, including how to: - Practice micro moments of joy to boost
positive mood - Embrace wonderment to help unlock creativity and
problem solving - Find the fun in your everyday to alleviate stress
- Use storytelling to heal from trauma and find emotional
resilience - Nurture a holiday state of mind to rest your brain and
recharge - Utilise simple techniques to repair and strengthen
relationships From the first blissful sip of freshly brewed coffee
to an immune-boosting good laugh with close friends, this
ground-breaking book shows how play is rooted in our daily
experiences. With helpful insights, tips, and exercises, you'll
discover the tiny changes that will revolutionise your life and why
you're never too old for play. Fans of Atomic Habits and Solve for
Happy will love Why We Play. Read what everyone is saying about Why
We Play: 'Brilliant... joyful and transformative.' Stefanie
Preissner 'I absolutely adore this book and it was a such a treat
to read.' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'The author does a tremendous
job at collating scientific data... I am amazed at the writing, it
did not lag or lacked any substance. Amazing!' NetGalley reviewer,
5 stars 'I loved the mixture of scientific research and suggestions
on how to play... a very accessible read and equally good to read
through or just dip into the play suggestions... An excellent and
important book that I'd recommend.' NetGalley reviewer, 5 stars 'An
excellent reference guide to how we can introduce play and fun into
every aspect of our lives, including the workplace where "a curious
mind is a playful mind". The exercises are terrific!'NetGalley
reviewer, 5 stars 'What I like most about the book are the many
exercises you can try to play, either alone or with another person.
I really enjoy being silly so some of her exercises already belong
to my daily routine. Seeing even more ideas was very inspiring for
me... I would recommend this book to everyone who might feel stuck
in the seriousness of life and is looking for more joy as part of
their daily routine.' Victoria's Vlog 'A necessary book for those
aiming to improve their day-to-day lives through something as easy
as PLAY!' Goodreads Reviewer 'A great book... highly recommend.'
Angelic Light Book Review 'A great book... The activities are
varied, extensive... a book I would 100% recommend to any adult who
wants to enjoy life and live their best life.' Goodreads reviewer
