In this episode, podcast host, Andrew Huberman, discusses the transformative nature of play—how it changes our feelings, thoughts and actions and indeed, how it can rewire our brain to function better in all contexts. He explains the role of play in childhood, as well as adulthood in skill and social development and describe key characteristics of the mind and body during play. Additionally, he explores how play allows the brain to test contingencies in different roles/environments.
