Ο Στιούαρτ Μπράουν λέει ότι το παιχνίδι είναι πολύ παραπάνω από απλή διασκέδαση -- είναι ζωτικής σημασίας

Το αντίθετο του παιχνιδιού είναι η κατάθλιψη !

About this talk

Πρωτοπόρος στην έρευνα σχετικά με το παιχνίδι, ο Στιούαρτ Μπράουν υποστηρίζει πως το χιούμορ, το παιχνίδι, το φλερτ, η φαντασία, ακόμα και το σκληρό πολλές φορές παιχνίδι, μας προσφέρουν κάτι παραπάνω από απλή διασκέδαση. Τα παιδιά που χορταίνουν παιχνίδι, γίνονται ευτυχισμένοι και έξυπνοι ενήλικες -- ενώ το να συνεχίζουμε να παίζουμε, μας κάνει πιο έξυπνους, ανεξάρτητα από την ηλικία μας.

About Stuart Brown

Stuart Brown's research shows play is not just joyful and energizing -- it's deeply involved with human development and intelligence. Through the National Institute for Play, he's working to betterunderstand its significance.

Why you should listen to him:

Dr. Stuart Brown came to research play through research on murderers -- unlikely as that seems -- after he found a stunning common thread in killers' stories: lack of play in childhood. Since then, he's interviewed thousands of people to catalog their relationships with play, noting a strong correlation between success and playful activity. His book Play describes the impact play can have on one's life. 

With the support of the National Geographic Society and Jane Goodall, he has observed animal play in the wild, where he first concieved of play as an evolved behavior important for the well being -- and survival -- of animals, especially those of higher intelligence. Now, through his organization, the National Institute for Play, he hopes to expand the study of human play into a vital science -- and help people everywhere enjoy and participate in play throughout life.

"Finally, a good excuse to goof off … Brown builds a compelling case for the importance of recreation to success and creativity -- and insists that grown-ups need it too."
