Description
Deep Play by Diane Ackerman explores one of the most essential aspects of our characters: the ability to play. This intensified form of play puts us in a rapturous mood and awakens our creative, sentient, and joyful inner selves. Ackerman ranges over various artistic, spiritual, and athletic activities, from spiritual rapture to extreme sports, revealing the ways we can enhance our lives by being "in the moment" and fully human. With poetic exuberance, she enlightens us on the manifold ways play can transform our existence.
