About this listen

If you want to know how you can play your way to personal success, then keep reading.

As our world gets busier, we are inundated with the complexities of life, and as we grow up, we forget to play and have fun. Life Lessons from a Bouncing Ball is a much-needed reminder that play is not just for kids. Apart from stimulating joy and enhancing relaxation, play boosts our creativity and imagination and positively impacts our relationships and personal success.

The importance of play for children is well-documented. Now researchers have turned their attention to its possible benefits for adults. What they’re finding is that play isn’t just about having fun; it can also be an important means of reducing stress and enhancing our overall well-being.

“At work, play has been found to speed up learning, enhance productivity, and increase job satisfaction; and at home, playing together, like going to a movie or a concert, can enhance bonding and communication". (Lynn Barnett, professor of recreation, sports and tourism, University of Illinois).

Hard work brings success, and so does play! In this audiobook, you’ll discover:

  • Why “play” is the new “work”
  • How play can reinvigorate your imagination
  • How to use clichés to increase productivity
  • The most overlooked quintessential principles for personal success
  • Fourteen unsuspecting principles hiding in plain sight
  • How to boost confidence and creativity by embracing the inner child
  • How to skip the race and still win

Personal success is subjective and ever-changing. You can learn lessons through play even if you think you don’t know how to play. The strategies are creative and can be adapted, even if you are playing alone. After listening to this audiobook, you’ll never look at play in the same way again.

Cannot agree more with the author about the perspective that playing is not only for kids but also suitable for adults.
Usually when playing games, we are more dedicated and focused on the topic. But most people seem to lack this joy and regard it as casual stuff. In fact there are so many benefits for our lives of playing if we take it properly.
I learned so much from this inspiring audiobook and highly recommend this to everyone.

Interesting audiobook!

Life Lessons from a Bouncing Ball is such a different and unique book; you should listen to just for that reason alone. The idea that runs through each chapter follows a bouncing ball, and how the slightest altering of the bounce mimics what we go through in life. Life zigs, we have to zag. This would be a fantastic gift for teenagers or someone just entering college. The motivational quotes are a nice bonus as they seemed to set up each chapter, reminding me I was about to hear and learn something significant.

Unique and totally engageable audiobook

Another amazing book by Andrea!
The life lessons Andrea talks about and the advice and tips to motivate parents are all great. I love the 'run your own race' amd Aim high chapters especially.

The advice and tips can be relevant to any parent but especially if you are raising a child with special needs. You will be able to apply the advice to any situation you come across. As Andrea says, circumstances make people...we are all the product of our environment and circumstances, good or bad. It's how we deal with it and try change what is required to make the best of life is what counts!

Great book, recommend it all parents.

Beautiful and inspirational!
