Today, Elaine joins me to discuss her research on zesty aging and how to approach life with vitality and be more open to new experiences. She shares some of the wisdom she has learned from writing her book The Power of Play: Optimizing Your Joy Potential, including how to increase the joy in your life by tapping into your inner child.

We discuss why adults neglect play and what you miss out on when you don’t prioritize it. Elaine also explains the PERMA model, what she learned from her mentor, Dr. Marty Seligman, and some simple strategies you can use to find opportunities for play in your life.
