Life is far too short to be bored. It' s time we start taking play seriously. Playful people have more fun. Play can help us to forget our worries for a while. And adopting a more playful attitude means we' re better able to cope with life' s ups and downs. Play has been scientifically proven to make you less stressed. It is hugely beneficial, beyond simply the pleasure it brings. It can teach you new skills, allow you to think more creatively and imaginatively, it can help you problem solve and strengthen your social connections. So why don' t we dedicate more time to playtime? Coralie Sleap is here to help you harness your imaginative instincts and live a life that' s a little less serious. Each chapter in this book focuses on one of the key aspects of play: Create, Connect, Imagine, Think and Move. Filled with over 100 unique activities and ideas, top tips from experts and fascinating explorations of the science behind it all, this book will inspire you to forget the rat race for a while and re-learn how to have fun. Grab some friends or go solo, embrace your inner child and get creative with no agenda.
