What if the antidote to burnout, depression and disconnection was hiding in plain sight?
We’re told to work harder, climb higher, achieve more. But what we’ve actually forgotten is how to play — and the cost of that forgetting is devastating our bodies, minds and spirits.
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.
Whether you’re a burned-out professional, a leader longing to inspire rather than just manage, a parent seeking deeper connection, or simply someone who’s forgotten how to laugh — Play Genius offers a unique map back home. To yourself. To your loved ones. To your life’s purpose.
Through sixteen fun and practical tools, and Portia’s own journey from emotional disconnection to creative vitality, you’ll discover how to play your way through life.
