Summary
If you want to know how you can play your way to personal success, then keep reading.
As our world gets busier, we are inundated with the complexities of life, and as we grow up, we forget to play and have fun. Life Lessons from a Bouncing Ball is a much-needed reminder that play is not just for kids. Apart from stimulating joy and enhancing relaxation, play boosts our creativity and imagination and positively impacts our relationships and personal success.
The importance of play for children is well-documented. Now researchers have turned their attention to its possible benefits for adults. What they’re finding is that play isn’t just about having fun; it can also be an important means of reducing stress and enhancing our overall well-being.
“At work, play has been found to speed up learning, enhance productivity, and increase job satisfaction; and at home, playing together, like going to a movie or a concert, can enhance bonding and communication". (Lynn Barnett, professor of recreation, sports and tourism, University of Illinois).
Hard work brings success, and so does play! In this audiobook, you’ll discover:
- Why “play” is the new “work”
- How play can reinvigorate your imagination
- How to use clichés to increase productivity
- The most overlooked quintessential principles for personal success
- Fourteen unsuspecting principles hiding in plain sight
- How to boost confidence and creativity by embracing the inner child
- How to skip the race and still win
Personal success is subjective and ever-changing. You can learn lessons through play even if you think you don’t know how to play. The strategies are creative and can be adapted, even if you are playing alone. After listening to this audiobook, you’ll never look at play in the same way again.

Play is important for us adults, too!
For a while now I've been on a journey to try to find natural ways to decrease my stress and increase my quality of life. I've listened to other books that taught things such as breathing techniques and meditation. I've started doing those and I can see a difference. But this book was such a great addition to what I've been reading. A well-rounded approach to anxiety is not just about the things to calm you and help you cope with stressful experiences, but it's also about including the things that bring you joy. This book was fun and encouraging.

Beautiful and inspirational!
Another amazing book by Andrea!
The life lessons Andrea talks about and the advice and tips to motivate parents are all great. I love the 'run your own race' amd Aim high chapters especially.
The advice and tips can be relevant to any parent but especially if you are raising a child with special needs. You will be able to apply the advice to any situation you come across. As Andrea says, circumstances make people...we are all the product of our environment and circumstances, good or bad. It's how we deal with it and try change what is required to make the best of life is what counts!
Great book, recommend it all parents.

Life Lessons Discovered During Mother-Daugher Play
In this short but wisdom-packed book, author Andrea Campbell shares the mindset that is needed for a happy and productive life. What sets this book apart from other self-help books is her approach. First, each chapter is concise, allowing Campbell to cover a lot of ground. Topics include the importance of being your authentic self, having a positive self-image, being willing to grow through failure and learning, preparing and not procrastinating, expressing gratitude and showing respect, maintaining focus on the task, striving for excellence over perfection, and much more. Critically, conciseness does not imply shallowness: each topic is covered with clarity, apt analogies, actionable tasks, and encouragement.
Second, the author ties these lessons to an activity she and her daughter played during the Covid shutdown. This is more than a gimmick. As an educator, I know that presenting a relevant, non-academic hook at the beginning of a lesson primes the listener to learn the objective. Campbell seamlessly introduces different ways the game was played and segues to the lessons of the chapter. In addition, this approach brings home the Introduction’s discussion of the importance of play–not just for children but for adults too. That alone is a lesson worth learning.

Interesting audiobook!
Cannot agree more with the author about the perspective that playing is not only for kids but also suitable for adults.
Usually when playing games, we are more dedicated and focused on the topic. But most people seem to lack this joy and regard it as casual stuff. In fact there are so many benefits for our lives of playing if we take it properly.
I learned so much from this inspiring audiobook and highly recommend this to everyone.
