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 Id 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.
