- Why are so many people in the world burned out at what they do?
I felt dead inside and had no idea how to fix it.
I started to incorporate play in my life and in one mont I was back to normal.
If you've never Googled the phrase "cure anxiety," then you might not know that the #1 result in the world was written by Charlie Hoehn. Millions of people have read his articles on mental wellness, and his bestselling book 'Play It Away: A Workaholic's Cure for Anxiety' was called "The cure to your stress!" by Tony Robbins. Charlie has keynoted at military bases around the U.S., including the Pentagon, on how to prevent soldiers from committing suicide.
Previously, he worked for three years with the author of The 4-Hour Workweek, Tim Ferriss. Charlie helped edit and launch The 4-Hour Body, which hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and sold millions of copies. Charlie‘s work has been featured on NPR, Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and many others.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Charlie did a terrific job walking us through a common American fallacy: our tendency to push play out of our lives to be more efficient and "successful." But brutalizing ourselves at work is just deferring happiness, whereas play is about building happiness today.
Excellent speech.
Great TEDx! As a fellow champion of play, I love how Charlie’s stories demonstrated how the simple acts of play completely transformed his life. Play on.
About 2 months ago i had my first panic attack in bed. I was about to sleep as normal as always (always been a good sleeper), my girlfriend next to me, everything as usual.
Then I thought, as you said, I've had a heart attack and ever since then I have panic attacks now and then.
BUT I read a lot about it (anxiety etc.) in general and it took a bit of fear from it - but I'm still fighting it when it's coming up.
There are a lot of personal problems around, i know that, and it has been a hard year. But still i was wondering why this suddenly occured in my life for the first time. Because I always had a kind of anxiety as a child and teen, but I NEVER had fear of dying.
One advice that I can give: fight depression and anxiety with creating stuff, be creative, draw, make music, build stuff, program stuff, do something, that makes you a creator.
I hope it helps :) Cheers.
nice job, Charlie. I don't know you, but I'm proud of you.
I've gone through depression, anxiety and drug addictions in my life and this talk really hits the spot with this stuff. Simply amazing lecture...thanks sooo much for the reminder....love your life and have fun!
What was the solution that helped you best???
I really like him. I don't like people who think what worked for them will work for other people/"cure" for anxiety.I am glad he named the book for workaholics and not general anxiety.Thank you. This really helped.
i liked what he said about not feeling suicidal but just wishing life and its rat race would end.
Work used to be very stressful until I started playing as my super hero at work.
Beautiful impressive amazing soul . Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
Great work!
We need to live more outside of our selves and less inside.

*Why Adults Should Play*
Playing is a very important means for development. When we play, we develop new relationships and connections.
While it is common knowledge that children need to play in order to develop, which is why we buy them games and put a lot of effort into working out the most suitable games for each stage of their development, it is not so clear with us adults. We do not really like to play. Our relations end up quickly deteriorating into each one of us degrading the other, which ends our playing.
As a result, we miss out on a lot of what we can get out of life. We fail to examine all of our options for development as adults, and we thus put a halt to our further development.
We have turned our daily lives into a prison of sorts. That is, we need to look, behave and talk in certain kinds of ways-and only in those certain kinds of ways-otherwise, we will not fit in with others and gain their respect. Without their respect, we get treated in ways that harm us. We suffer from living in such a prison, but it has become so ingrained into our lives that we cannot escape from it.
The essence of our playing as adults should be that we treat each other positively even if we do not feel like it, and to teach others to do the same. Playing in such a way would emulate the higher state of positive connection that nature is developing us toward, and we would thus draw positive forces of connection that dwell in nature into our relations, and start feeling happier, more confident, and that our lives are purpose-driven.
I wanna go PlaY!
Tim Payne Do it!
What if ure excessively anxious to do anything without fainting? Have tried to engage in activities on and off without any success since the past five years....
In extreme cases such as that, perhaps medication will help you form the habit of play in the short-term...then that can sustain itself without the medication.
Nebel Slayn this man is correct
I am 36 year old, I want to play!
