Customer Reviews

All work and no play make adults dull adults

I'm just writing a note about an interesting book that I've just read. I don't know if it's out yet, but a friend of mine lent me a copy of "Beyond Love and Work..." by L. Terr. It's an interesting look at the art of being "forever young." I reccomend this book to all who are interested in regaining a child-like sense of wonder in their adult lives.

A thought provoking book for all audiences

This is another great book by Dr. Lenore Terr. Her book shows the reader how play is a central part of our lives, and as part of our history as children and adults. Dr. Terr's book provides her readers a way of rediscovering that world when "work" and "play" were not necessarily seperate entities. I recommend this book for all readers who are interested in this topic. It's a well written, thoughtful and interesting to read.
