Blending counterintuitive observations, anecdotes, and research across a range of disciplines-notably medicine, psychology, sociology, history, neuroscience, and economics-Playful Intelligence shows adults the profound and unexpected ways that playfulness impacts everyday life. It also offers practical suggestions on how to make life more playful. Playful Intelligence's core chapters are devoted to exploring the effects and benefits of five playful qualities: imagination, sociability, humor, spontaneity, and wonder. By examining playfulness as a sum of its parts, listeners will gain a working awareness of its power and be able to apply playful principles to their own lives, bringing the magic of childhood back into their day-to-day existence.

      Anthony DeBenedet asks listeners to consider how creativity, imagination, and humor can enhance their lives. Narrator Peter Berkot gives the stories that illustrate playful intelligence the dramatic feel of fiction. Listeners will hear about the small wins in the life of a girl with epilepsy and the entrepreneurial decisions at Cherry Republic. DeBenedet also recounts lessons from the life of John F. Kennedy and from "The Christmas Ship," which brought presents to war orphans during WWI. The stories make DeBenedet's points about wonder, decisiveness, and spontaneity while engaging listeners and putting them in others' shoes. Each anecdote is backed up with tips to help listeners channel playful intelligence in their own lives. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
