Make Play OK Our society has developed an unhealthy paradigm for adults–that mature adults don’t play. We pay to go to gyms and walk or run on treadmills when, if it weren’t for our conception of play as “childish” we could just go outside and play. Then, we have to make deliberate efforts to go outside to combat the epidemic levels of depression. There is nothing wrong with adults playing.

A paradigm shift that Makes Play OK would do tremendous good for health and well-being. …..
