When adults think about recreation, they all too often focus on regimented workouts at the gym or a weekend at luxury spa. In this insightful new book Dr. Lenore Terr demonstrates that adults can clear their minds, recapture the optimism of youth and measurably improve the psychological quality of their adult lives by learning to play with the abandon they experienced as children. Terr points out the links between childhood games and adult activities and explains how play can become a natural part of everyday life. In an easy-going, fully accessible style, BEYOND LOVE AND WORK gives readers an exciting new perspective on the game of life and an unique "play-book" that will help them come out winners.

Paperback. Etat : Collectible-Very Good. Rediscover the Joy of Just Plain Having FunWhen you think about the things you do for recreation, does your list include a workout at the gym, a Saturday afternoon shopping trip, or a weekend at the beach? While these activities may be beneficial or relaxing, they do not encourage the same spirit of release and abandon that play can provide, according to Dr. Lenore Terr.Based on actual case studies of her adult patients and on her many years of observing the activities of young children, Dr. Terr's Beyond Love and Work is an in-depth look at the nature of play and the many benefits it can offer adults. The author also provides wonderful insights into the connections between mature play and childhood experiences. For instance, Dr. Terr describes how the game of peekaboo manifests itself as college reunions or business conventions, and how the act of 'pretending' so often exhibited in children is closely linked to the daydreams and fantasies of adults.Beyond Love and Work offers a compelling argument that encourages adults to clear their minds, recapture the optimism of youth, and measurably improve the psychological quality of their lives by viewing play in the same manner as children -- with a sense of adventure and verve.
