The Athletic Philosopher Podcast - Episode 31 'Play is Serious, Work is the Distraction'

Adults make the world too serious by misunderstanding play and then wonder why they lead unhappy lives empty of meaning. It's the same as a child who's told that they must always be doing serious work. This is a clarion call to stop consuming play and start creating it as an adult.

In Episode 31 I swirl hard around one of my core pillars of athletic morality, the importance of fun. Instead of just skimming the surface I wanted to really explore the simple wisdom of this phrase and how it not only guides us in fitness but in orienting our lives towards deep meaning. 

Once we take seriously the importance of play to our growth, learning, and expression, it's impossible not to move it more towards the center of your values. 

As the saying goes "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Stop living dull, start living beautifully, go all in on PLAYING THE RIGHT WAY.
