In the third in our series on "The State of Civility in America," Dr. Shepherd Siegel poses the question: Can You Come Out and Play?
Things are getting scary out there -- very UNcivil -- and with our Civility Series we're searching for ways to turn that downward spiral on its head. How do we redirect all that anxiety & anger into something positive?
Dr. Siegel brings us something entirely different. In this first of a two-part episode, he talks about Play, and the role of the "Trickster" in history, mythology and culture. Shep's a fun guy to talk to, but don't be fooled... he takes Play very seriously.
