Part storytelling, part personal discovery, this interactive journal takes readers on an introspective journey, as they find what they can Awaken, Unfold, Illuminate, Ignite, and Howl about in their lives. A deeply personal experience of discovery, this book is for anyone starting a new path, stuck in a rut, enjoying a sunny afternoon by the pool, or simply waking up to another day. It will get your mind going, your heart glowing, and fill you with you wings of inspiration and the whimsy of laughter. Take flight!

READ ABOUT IT
Can play be the answer to some of our most significant and complex social challenges of the 21st Century? Play gives us the inspiration and courage to confront, “what do we do when no one has the answer?” Play invites us to risk connection in the face of the unexpected and unfamiliar. The ability to imagine solutions to some of our most significant challenges lies in gifts that we already have but that we might have let go of too soon. Reconnect to the best parts of yourself that you may have left on the playground. Play might be one of the most outstanding resume skills you are not including.
It’s time to return to PLAY!
