Experts like Dr. Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology at Yale University and host of the "The Happiness Lab" podcast says one of the important components of play is engaging in an activity solely for the joy of doing so. All last week, we talked about the immeasurable value of play on The Takeaway. Check out some of the stories:

Of course, play means different things to different people. Some of us choose physical activities while others seek a more restful version of play. Some play with friends or family, and some find ways to play on their own. So we asked The Takeaway staff to share some moments of play in their own lives. Tune in to hear what they said.
