Trade Review

“Attitudes of Play is essential reading for any member of society who pursues excellence. The book addresses the fundamental attitude required for all people in all fields to thrive and flourish.” Mark Nyvlt, Dominican University College and author of Aristotle and Plotinus on the Intellect: Monism and Dualism Revisited


"Attitudes of Play is a compelling thinking task that has consequences for educators, leaders, managers and any of us who struggle with the complexity of life. It is a useful reminder of what it means to be human, and the need for all of us to slow down and engage in the art of living." Winnipeg Free Press


“This book marks a significant contribution to the literature on play, and will stand beside such classics as Johan Huizinga’s Homo Ludens (1950) and Roger Caillois’s Man, Play, and Games (1961).” Choice
