Play as Rebellion: A Double Dare to Say No to the Culture of Overworking

In a world where our worth is often defined by our productivity, embracing play as a must-have in life is an act of rebellion.

We are constantly bombarded with the need for ＂more＂ do more, have more, be more. This world expects us to be the best we can be: we’re only worth as much as our last achievement. This constant pressure leaves us feeling empty and disconnected from ourselves. We’re more burned out than ever before. But author LaKeesha Walrond says there is another way: a life of play can be our way to rebel against a culture that tells us we’re only put on this earth to produce.

Embracing the power of play means we spend time healing our inner hurts and finding true happiness. With a nod to childhood games such as Mother, May I; Freeze Tag; Hide and Seek; and more, play as rebellion takes you on a journey to revisit the lessons of the past. You’ll learn about rejecting false narratives, reestablishing boundaries, embracing the child within, and more. By integrating more play into our lifestyles, we unlock valuable insights and practical strategies for overcoming challenges and conquering our fears. True success lies not in endless productivity, but in embracing a balanced life filled with childlike joy.
