About this episode
"The opposite of play is not work - the opposite of play is depression," says Dr. Stuart Brown. When we start to understand play, we find that we hold the key to mental health and resilience, stronger relationships, easier discipline, joy and growth. Play as a resource, what forms it can take, what stands in its way and our own journeys with it are some of the things we talk about in this episode.
