Piera Gelardi: The Playful Way, Gebunden

Klappentext

Playfulness can help you navigate life with more creativity, resilience, and joy---entrepreneur Piera Gelardi offers simple practices and radical permission to shift from the Pressured Way to the Playful Way.

Since childhood, we're told to "grow up" and "get serious." But what if playfulness---not grinding harder---is the secret to navigating life's challenges with more creativity, connection, and joy?
When life feels overwhelming, most of us default to the Pressured Way: clenching our jaws, white-knuckling through, trying to force solutions. Creative entrepreneur Piera Gelardi shows there's another option: the Playful Way---a mindset that transforms how you move through the world, making you more fluid, experimental, and alive.
Gelardi guides readers in uncovering the mental barriers and inner critics that restrict their playfulness, offering practical techniques to reconnect with curiosity, wonder, and possibility. You'll discover the Eight Powers of Play and learn to quiet the "Anti-Play Posse" voices in your head.
Through personal stories, real-world examples, and science-backed insights, Gelardi shows how a playful mindset:

• Unlocks creative solutions when conventional thinking fails
• Builds resilience during uncertainty and change
• Transforms mundane tasks into sources of joy
• Deepens connections with yourself and others
• Helps you feel present and alive instead of numb and disconnected

The Playful Way meets you where you are. Whether you're navigating major transitions or simply seeking more joy in daily life, this is your permission slip and roadmap to discover what becomes possible when you choose play.
