TMWT Episode 021: Fun & Games: The Playful Path of Bernie De Koven

Welcome to Thoughtful Mind with Tzvi: Personal Growth, Mental Health, and Interesting Ideas. We're a podcast where we explore ways we can heal from the past, grow in positivity in the future, and find some food for thought along the journey.

In this week' episode, we walk a playful path, looking to improve our happiness and flow. We talk about the life's work of Bernie De Koven, who brought joy and inspiration to so many.

So when I talk and write about a Playful Path, I'm neither talking no writing about how we can or should become playful, because we already are. Or how we can become more playful, because our playfulness is immeasurable... Playfulness isn't really an achievement. It's a gift. Let me say that again. Playfulness isn't an achievement, it's a gift. And that gift come to those who choose to receive it.” – Bernie De Koven
