Gary’s superpower is getting adults to take time to play.
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2022
I would definitely recommend this book. I have been in Gary’s Zoomers to Boomers intergenerational international improv classes on zoom and have done improv with him in person at WDS in Portland, Oregon. Gary’s superpower is including everyone. He gets people with anxiety like me to participate and play and not worry if I make a mistake because “there are no mistakes in improv”. Also his zoom sessions during the pandemic helped me as I was home alone for 668 days in a high risk category.

Now I understand my wife a little
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2022
My wife has been going on and on about how Gary Ware has inspired her to see the fun and joy in life. We ordered the book. I've been listening to audible. We thrived in the old work paradigm: long intense hours, lots of sacrifices, missed many life events, and played really hard when work allowed. Now is a good time for us to incorporate more play in our life. Playful Rebellion is our instruction manual.
