520 1 $a"As we become adults, taking time to play feels like only a guilty pleasure - a distraction from "real" work and life. But as Dr. Stuart Brown, the leading expert on play behavior in this country, explains, play is anything but trivial. It is a basic biological drive as integral to our health and functioning as sleep or nutrition. When we play, we are open to possibility and the sparks of new insight and thought. Play provides the glue for our relationships and fuels our creativity. In short, we are designed by nature to flourish through play." "Beyond its role in our personal fulfillment, the benefits of play have profound implications for child development and parenting, for education and social policy, for business, productivity, and even the future of our society. Play offers an inside look at new research suggesting the direct role of three-dimensional object play in shaping our brains and at animal studies showing the startling effects of the absence of play. It also presents sweeping practical examples of arenas in which play can produce real results-including companies that are harnessing the power of play in the workplace to encourage innovation and schools that use play effectively to motivate their students." "A blend of cutting-edge science and inspiring personal stories, this book proves that play just might be the most important work we can do."--BOOK JACKET.
