People are awesome video!

I found a real neat video of people doing amazing things on facebook.
I thought it was interesting.
I imagine it took many hears of work and practice to gain those skills.
I was a former skateboarder. I know how much it takes to "get good."
What is a leisure activity that you want to "get good at?"
What about a work duty or task that you want to get good at?

Leisure: the basis of culture

Bang Bang LaDesh had posted a link to on the Therapeutic Recreation facebook page.

The title of the article is:

Leisure, the basis of culture: an obscure German philosopher’s timely 1948 manifesto for reclaiming our human dignity in a culture of workaholism.

You can read the article at this link:

Here is a link for the book:

 

Leisure Education from the experts.

Leisure education

Do you encourage people (who you provide services for) to sign-up for a class to learn new leisure skills?

I discovered a really neat site where some famous people are teaching their skills.

James Patterson (one of my favorite authors) is teaching a class on writing, which I’m going to take.

Dustin Hoffman is teaching a class on acting.

Serena Williams is teaching a class on tennis.

Coming soon:

Annie Leibovitz will be teaching a class on photography

Usher will be teaching the art of performance.
