Why Play Matters: The Secret to Thriving Together

Episode notes from New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove

Mark Solms explores how our earliest experiences of play shape not just our joy, but our sense of belonging and power. He explains that play is far more than child’s fun-it’s where we learn empathy, navigate exclusion, and discover what it means to thrive together, beyond society’s usual divisions.
