How Playing Outside Impacts Your Well-Being | Craig Childs | TEDxMileHigh

Does getting away from human artifacts affect our brains? In this surprising talk, Craig Childs connects our decision-making abilities and sense of well-being with the power of playing outside.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Craig Childs writes about the relationship between humans, animals, landscape, and time. He has published more than a dozen books, including Apocalyptic Planet, which won the Orion Book Award and the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Men's Journal, and Outside. An occasional commentator for National Public Radio's Morning Edition, Childs lives in Western Colorado and teaches writing.
