In this fantastic episode, I spoke with my friend Dr. Shelly Johnson about an incredibly interesting topic: the philosophy of play.

Shelly Johnson is a philosophy professor at Georgetown College. She teaches and researches on ethics, philosophy of education, environmental ethics, and philosophy of play. She is the author of the blog Love is Stronger and the books Argument Builder, Discovery of Deduction (co-author) and Everyday Debate Before returning to graduate school, she was a middle and high school humanities teacher for over a decade. She earned her PhD in philosophy at the University of Kentucky and wrote her dissertation on education and the good society. In her free time, she enjoys walking, hiking, juggling, and hula hooping.

Shelly teaches a course called The Philosophy of Play and in this episode, she shares some of the important aspects of play that I think many if not most of us take for granted.

This topic is so aligned with the non-diet and Intuitive Eating approach because it reminds us of the importance of joyful movement.
