商品簡介
The purpose of the book is to provide an understanding of, and tools for, enhancing one's playfulness and creativity. This book is a collection of experiences and insights that have emerged over four decades in my pedagogical work with both children and adults and in my work as a musician and performing artist. Part 1: This part of the book offers an analysis of playfulness. It gives you a deeper understanding of what makes something playful and creative, the basic elements and their subgroups. Once you have grasped some of it, you will be able to make use of the Troubleshooter in Part 4. Part 2: This part offers practical exercises for playfulness, both for individuals and groups. Here, you will dive into the elements of playfulness and find exercises that will significantly enhance your skills. Part 3: This part delves into the role of childhood play and how its elements resurface in adulthood. It offers a way to understand essential aspects of life as an adult, in relation to wellbeing, social life, boundaries, rules, drama, creativity, joy, and more. Part 4: The Troubleshooter. This may be the most important part, as it offers the actual keys to playfulness, and to the creativity that comes with it. You can turn to it when you find yourself missing playfulness or creativity, or even the sense of meaning in life, and need some understanding and insight, rather than more thinking.
