Why do we assume that learning only occurs when you are serious and quiet, be it either at the office or at school? Well, forget that theory because we firmly believe that the best way to learn is through fun, which will increase your confidence as well as reduce your stress. The highest level of executive thinking, making connections, and the great “aha” moments are more likely to occur in an atmosphere of “exuberant discovery” where people of all ages retain that kindergarten enthusiasm of embracing each day with the joy of learning. Fun actually promotes learning, increases dopamine, and raises endorphins, oxygen and energy levels!
