Playful: How Play Shifts Our Thinking, Inspires Connection, and Sparks Creativity

The power of play to stimulate creativity is well-documented. In Playful: How Play Shifts Our Thinking, Inspires Connection and Sparks Creativity, Cas Holman, the acclaimed play designer behind Rigamajig — the play system at New York City’s High Line — and professor at Rhode Island School of Design, shows how play can be used to open up the imaginations of adults, improving our creativity, ability to trust and adaptability. For Social Capital leaders, this book is a treasure trove, showing how unlocking the spirit of play leads to better collaborative and iterative thinking at work and showing how nostalgia, imagination and silliness can spark creative thinking.
