The Dark Side of Play Deficiency | Dr. Stuart Brown, Lauren & Mia Sundstrom - 919
Manage episode 489503307 series 2970842
We ain't playing games here... things get serious when it comes to play. But don't worry, despite the attention-grabbing title I've lured you in with this is a pretty light-hearted and fun chat!
I sat down with three generations of play experts from the same fam to unpack how play shapes our brains, our relationships, and even our careers. Dr. Stuart Brown kicks things off with a wild origin story that links a lack of play to violent behavior - mass murder, in fact!! His daughter Lauren and granddaughter Mia bring it full circle with how they’ve lived and breathed this work. We dig into the science, the 8 play personalities, why adults stop having fun, and how that’s messing with our mental health. This chat is fun (as expected), real, and maybe the reminder you didn’t know you needed: play ain't just for kids. It’s fuel for being human.
