I found the science behind play fascinating, and most of the exercises were things I tried or will try. Some, in fact, are similar to things I just do within the context of my normal (such as it is) life. I have had several people throughout my life tell me some variation of "if you played less you'd get so much more done," yet these people rarely complained about what I was getting done, they just thought that less play or being more serious would increase results. Almost every time I replied that no, I wouldn't get more done because I'd be miserable and just following rote procedures.
To this day I still regularly do a period of freewriting every week for 20 minutes. Usually with no prompts unless I am also using it to work through some ideas. Freewriting, for me, is a form of mental play that helps me see things in different ways. By not having rules about how or what I write, I may go off on a fantastical tangent, or I may find myself doing essentially free association. I am always surprised at how often I end up with things I can use, either new ways to look at problems I'm dealing with or ideas for new projects. Those projects don't always work out, but man are they fun!
I would recommend this to anyone who simply wants a more fulfilling life, but especially those for whom pain and/or trauma has robbed them of their joy.
