Recapture the unbridled joy: The cure for adult complexity
Loading player...
What if the secret to a richer life is less analysis and more pure joy?
This week, the middle-aged family man steps onto the field for the first time as a cricket umpire for his youngest son's KFC Minis game. Surrounded by 350 aspiring cricketers, he witnesses a profound lesson in unbridled joy.
The episode reflects on the electric, ephemeral enthusiasm of children who play the game for the pure fun of it - completely detached from the outcome.
We challenge the question: Where does that simple delight go? As adults, we often let expectations, spreadsheets, and over-analysis ameliorate the joy of simply doing.
Discover how you can use your agency to consciously inject the raw enjoyment of "play" back into your work, your projects, and your planning, without letting adult complexity steal your delight.
