Book Preview:

#1 Play is a biological process that has evolved over generations to promote survival. It shapes the brain and makes animals smarter and more adaptable. It fosters empathy and makes possible complex social groups.

#2 We are built to play, and play is the purest expression of our individuality. We are happiest when we are playing. But as we get older, we are made to feel guilty for playing, and we are told that it is unproductive and a waste of time.

#3 Play is not just for the rich and retired. In fact, it is often a catalyst that helps us be more productive and happier in everything we do.

#4 At some companies, play is becoming more recognized as an important part of success. And I’m not just talking about Ping-Pong tables in the break room. Employees who have engaged in play throughout their lives outside of work and bring that emotion to the office are able to do well at work-related tasks that at first might seem to have no connection at all to play.
