Les Mcgehee Plays Well with Others: A Grown-up Handbook of Improvisation and Play Book

Work tends to be, for lack of a better adjective, work. We steel ourselves to be serious and productive. We plan, schedule, and work towards deadlines like our life depends upon it. Fun, creativity, and imagination seem like something children do, we had to grow up.

Or do we? Plays Well With Others lets us know that improvisation and play are healthy activities for adults too. In fact, happy adults are far more creative, productive, and cooperative. It makes perfect sense and this book shows us how to start with all sorts of activities and games.

After reading this book, I would love to go to one of Les McGehee's improvisation workshops. I think the concept is exactly what most businesses and individuals within those companies need to regain our passion. I like the exercises provided in the book, they were easy enough to follow but I think an in-person workshop would be even more beneficial for those individuals who might naturally hold back a little. I'm sure that the author's passion could get anyone to let go and just play for a while.
