What if the antidote to burnout, depression and disconnection was hiding in plain sight?

You knew how to play before you knew how to worry. Before the deadlines, the pressure, the relentless push to be productive — you were a natural. Play Genius is an invitation to come home to that.
Drawing on a decade of research in play science, psychology and systemic coaching – and 25 years of working with visionary leaders – Portia Tung reveals why so many of us have lost our capacity to play, and more importantly, how to reclaim it.
This book is for the senior leader who feels alone at the top. The professional running on empty. The leader who seeks to inspire rather than just manage. The parent longing to feel joy with their children again. And anyone who suspects there must be another way to work, lead, love and live.
Through sixteen fun and practical tools, and Portia’s own journey from emotional disconnection to creative vitality, you’ll discover that play isn’t frivolous. It’s transformational. And it’s time to reclaim your birthright.
Are you done with being serious and ready to be extraordinary?
