Play, Playfulness, Creativity and Innovation

Author: Patrick Bateson, Paul Martin

Patrick Bateson and Paul Martin introduce a new concept to the play and creativity literature by defining the game played with a positive emotional state as "playful play". Concentrating on playful play, this book examines the role playful play and thought play in evolution and development, and examines the similarities of play with humor, dreaming, dreams and altered states of consciousness. In this book, the authors also demonstrate the importance of playful play and thinking for creativity and innovation by distinguishing creativity, which is the generation of new behaviors and ideas, from innovation, which they see as their implementation. Playful play that reveals creativity not only entertains children and baby animals; It prepares them for the future. Of course, adults also benefit from being playful. "We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing," said Bernard Shaw. This book appeals not only to biologists, psychologists and educators, but to everyone interested in creativity and innovation; It touches upon the efficiency and productivity provided by playful environments. And in short, it appeals to all readers: The freer we are, the more playful we are, the more productive, the more creative, the more innovative we are.
