Play is a part of healthy development, an integral ingredient in learning, a nostalgic pastime. It’s good for your body and your brain.

There’s something inherently youthful about play, of course, but it’s not just kid stuff. Play has a vital role in adult life as well.

But in our all-too-purposeful adult world, it’s easy to skip your playtime. That’s where we come in. Take this short quiz and it will tell you what play vitamins are most missing in your life. Then we’ll give you a couple of prescriptions for how to add the fun back in.

Here is the accompanying article to this video.

And here is Nicolas Kristof’s companion piece that discusses the same issue.

What is so scary about smart girls? In my opinion, it’s simple: education is power, and there are many who do not want and fear women with power. This theme appears in fiction as well: In Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale, women are not allowed to read once a radical Christian military group takes over the US government and instates a theocracy.

Something we can all relate to?

Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.
― Aldous Huxley (via psych-quotes)

He spent five years as a technical writer and demonstration engineer with Ariba Inc. in Sunnyvale, California, before entering the Clinical Psychology program at the New College of California in San Francisco.

He also worked at the New College of California Community Counseling Center, using psychodynamic and play therapy to treat adults and children from the both the Latino and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered (LGBT) communities of San Francisco.
