For the launch of my new book, I was concerned about doing an episode where I talk about myself and my work in the book. So, instead I thought I would let some playful AI robots review the book and tell you all about it.

Check out the new book on paperback and Kindle here: Playful Humans: 52 Reasons to Rediscover the Power of Play in Your Life and Career https://a.co/d/bRJp8fn

Are you feeling burnt out, bored, or just plain stuck in “adulting” mode? Playful Humans is here to rescue your inner child and recharge your creative spirit! Author Mike Montague, play expert and host of the Playful Humans podcast, invites you to explore a surprising antidote to the daily grind: a daily dode of play.

In this refreshing guide to life, you’ll uncover 52 reasons to reignite your connections, creativity, physical and mental conditioning, and confidence in your life and work. Whether you're seeking more fun, flow, fulfillment, or fearless action, this book offers practical insights and challenges inspired by psychology, neuroscience, and real-life “Playful Humans” who have turned their passion into a superpower.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Humor and Inspiration – Discover power quotes, bad jokes, and playful insights that bring joy to your life’s journey.
  • Profiles of Real-Life Playful Humans – Learn from people who’ve built careers and lives around playing for a living, from comedians and content creators to artists and entrepreneurs.
  • Engaging Activities – Take on challenges, puzzles, and games to stretch your comfort zone and transform your perspective, one gamified step at a time.


With Playful Humans, you’ll learn how to ditch boredom and burnout and embrace a new outlook on life where fun fuels your success and happiness. As George Bernard Shaw once said, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”
