The
POWER
Once
considered
a
pastime
reserved
for
the
recess
crowd,
play
has
grown
up
in
a
big
way.
Recent
studies
show
that
pure
and
simple
fun
can
improve
your
adult
life
by
relieving
stress,
improving
brain
function,
strengthening
social
con-
nections,
and
more.
But
returning
to
your
playground
days—or
at
least
regaining
that
feeling
of
uninhibited
joy—can
present
a
challenge
to
the
modern
adult.
At
the
WAC,
we
can
help.
of
PLAY
You can discover more
about a person in an hour
of play than in a year of
conversation.
