Avinash Jhangiani has designed his book, Play to Transform, to be 바카라down-to-earth practical, meant for the overwhelmed leader of change, who genuinely cares about humanizing business and is looking for a refreshing, more intrinsically motivating way to thrive in uncertainty바카라. The subtitle바카라How Your Inner Child Can Accelerate Change and Rehumanize Business바카라is an apt teaser to what lies inside.
The only way to stay relevant is by keeping the inner child alive and continuously disrupting the self, says Jhangiani, as he adds that he learnt this lesson 바카라after making three seriously playful career shifts바카라바카라from technology consulting to digital marketing to transformation and innovation consulting바카라across 25 years and having worked with 40 brands across industries바카라.
Jhangiani writes:
By the time I finished writing this book, 바카라I바카라 had long become irrelevant. My inner child had taken over. So, you will be experiencing the book through his eyes. He will be your coach as you go island hopping, bungee jumping and deep-sea diving into the actionable strategies and stories based on real experiences, mostly backed by scientific evidence and some as they appeared in his head.
We live. We die.
We sow. We reap.
We play. We achieve.
Quite possibly, the secret to thriving in the new norm, where uncertainty is an unavoidable constant, lies here, between these pages, amongst these anecdotes, epiphanies and activities. More than anything, in this reservoir of contemporary experiences, is one big truth. She might have been the last to come out of Pandora바카라s box. Here, hope is in every page, every image and word. I believe this, in itself, is a good beginning.
All of this is what you hold in your hands now.바카라
Discovering the Inner Child
The book is inspired by children, says Jhangiani. 바카라Have you ever wondered how they intuitively know how to draw, build castles in the sand or role-play their favourite superheroes? Or how they instinctively know not to cut trees, kill animals for meat, differentiate between men and women or ignore a homeless person in need? It is because we are all born as creative geniuses with an innate ability to empathise deeply with others,바카라 he remarks.
In the hustle and bustle of earning a living, we often forget who we have become and who we are meant to be, he opines. 바카라We become so fixated on chasing our goals that we deny ourselves the opportunity to course-correct and embrace playfulness. In the garb of a 바카라professional바카라 in the workplace, we hesitate to tap into our inner child, fearing the unknown and worried about disrupting the status quo,바카라 he adds.
Jhangiani argues in the book that by neglecting to rediscover the child within us, we deny ourselves the chance to become the truest and best versions of ourselves. 바카라We limit our potential as leaders of our own destinies and as humans deeply connected with ourselves and nature,바카라 he notes.
Learning Curve
Writing the book came with its own share of learnings, Jhangiani confesses. 바카라When I started writing, I felt trapped by the professional experiences in my conditioned mind,바카라 he says. 바카라It was not until I took a joyride back to childhood that I found moments of sweet joy and sour pain, like tasting a lemon chewing gum. Stepping back and visualising my journey, I discovered many 바카라eureka바카라 moments but above all, I discovered something precious that had been propelling me all along,바카라 he adds.
Play to Transform is a movement, not just a book, says Jhangiani, explaining that it is a drive to rehumanise business and live life more consciously yet playfully. He now aims to build a community and scale up efforts 바카라to take the book바카라s message, along with methods and mindsets, to a larger audience of leaders and decision makers responsible to build better, more conscious, sustainable cultures for a better business and humanity바카라.
