Deep Play

Diane Ackerman (Vintage Books, 2000)

Diane Ackerman is a writer and poet. She describes "deep play" as "that more intensified form of play that puts us in a rapturous mood and awakens the most creative, sentient, and joyful aspects of our inner selves." This book provides a new way of integrating what we know about the role of play in human development with how we think about life and work. This book stimulates thinking about rituals and games and group process.
