Play: Work at Play or Play at Work
About this audiobook
What if you could stop paddling so hard upstream, turn your boat around, and smile and wave?
What if you could lighten the load in your life--and your mind and your heart--with tiny daily actions that we all can easily do?
What if everything you needed to get to such a place already existed within each and every one of us?
All we needed was a roadmap, a guidebook, a blueprint to take us from others laughing at us to laughing with us? From being against a cause to creating our own? From surviving to thriving?
In best-selling author Bradley Charbonneau’s latest book PLAY, you’ll uncover your own natural playful state is our default state, it's where we're supposed to be living, it's where we shine. It's where we belong.
I almost don't dare use this word but it's the best word I can find at the moment. Who knows, maybe you'll read the book, arrive at your own level of PLAY, and share with me a word that you feel best describes the mindset we have now achieved. But that word, that feeling, that way of being, is, I know, I know, it's a biggie, but here it is: enlightenment.
Now before you put on a robe and move to a mountaintop in Nepal, hear me out. My first book with my boys (The Secret of Kite Hill) turned a regular, daily, boring walk home from school into a magical, unforgettable, and playful story that became the launch pad for not only my writing career, but the relationship I had with my kids--and myself.
PLAY is a place yet it's not on a map
PLAY is something we all have access to yet few can find it
PLAY is a higher place
This book contains more than words on pages. The bonus materials give you immediate access to videos, blog posts, interviews and podcasts that enhance, explain and entice you to become the architect of your destiny and live a lighter, freer, more playful life.
In this book, you’ll discover:
How (and why) some people seem to float through life on a yacht sipping cocktails while others are paddling upstream in a leaky canoe
The power of mindset and how it's the basis for all action
When to laugh at (and with) yourself before others do to remove all negative power before it materializes
Why you can't sit the entire game on the bench, you're going to have to get up, give up, and get in the game

Get PLAY today to get off the bench, out of your mind, and into the game.

Who will you be next?
There's usually a choice.
It's usually yours.
I used to think certain things weren't possible.
Then I did them.
Now I think they're possible.
In fact, I believe many things are possible.
But how do make that mindset shift?
How do we go from thinking "Why me?" to "Why not me?"
An aspiring writer walks into a bookstore and has one of two thoughts:
1.) "Wow, look at all of these authors. How could I possibly belong here?"
2.) "Wow, look at all of these authors. If they can do it, why can't I? They all started out somewhere. I just need to start."
But how do you start? How often do you work at it?
That's what I write about.
I've done it. I know how to do it.
I'm writing to reach out my hand, to invite you, to welcome you to your own future.
It starts right now.
Up for a 10-day challenge to get started? Check out the immediately accessible mini-workshop at the beginning of my book "Every Single Day Playbook."
