Work as Play
Mark on June 9th, 2008
Today at Creative Journey Cafe, I thought we’d hand things over to Alan Watts, the late, great philosopher. I spent the summer of 2000 reading his books and listening to his lectures, and they instantly changed the way I view life and the meaning of it. If you’d like to download his lectures from iTunes, I recommend Do You Do IT or Does IT Do You. I also recommend his books, especially The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are, This is It, and The Wisdom of Insecurity.
Here he is talking about work as play. (There is also a part 2 and 3 to this talk on YouTube.) Enjoy. (And feel free to leave your comments.)
Great post. I am a very playful person. I think that is what makes me a great teacher is I view teaching science in a playful manner where discovery is am awesome thing that energizes me and my students.
I need to transfer that idea to my housework and make it house play!
