New Book! Play and The Heart’s Refusal to Harden

[David Thomas]

Playful people.

I am super happy and exicted to announce Lisa's new book on Play Story Press:

https://playstorypress.org/books/play-and-the-hearts-refusal-to-harden/ 

This deeply personal and transformative book is both a love letter to play and call to summon the deeper meanings of play and playing.

Play and the Heart's Refusal to Harden challenges the belief that play is something we outgrow. Drawing from psychology, play therapy, education, social critique, and personal experience, Lisa explores how cultures recruit us into seriousness, productivity, and disconnection—and how play helps us resist.

For anyone who feels exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode, this book offers a different question: not "How can I play more?" but "What conditions help people come alive?"

The book is available for purchase in print and ePub formats as well as a free PDF download.

Get this one on your summer reading list!

Congratulations, Lisa! I appreciate this question the book offers:  "What conditions help people come alive?"

I am about half through the book, and it really is moving, challenging and fantastic!
