On this week’s episode of the Dot to Dot podcast Lou and I talk about why, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said “It is a happy talent to know how to play.” We discuss why play and having fun is essential to problem solving, creativity, relationships and even well-being; why finding the type of play that works for you is important (if you don’t want to cringe your way through it and gain nothing but humiliation) and why play is by definition, a moving target.
There is no end point or goal, it’s a process which Scott Eberle editor of the American Journal of Play describes as being somewhere in between a start and an end, an “in between [where] you find surprise, pleasure, understanding – as skill and empathy – and strength of mind, body and spirit.”
