Today’s technology is playing in 3D but what about us?
Are we playing in 3D?
Or are we living in a flat, 2D state of mind?

"Wow—what a ride…I truly felt like I was on a roller coaster of emotions right there with you… Your writing has real depth, and the way your thought process unfolds on the page is both beautiful and compelling… Reading your work, and knowing you guys worked on this for at least a decade, I felt that same reverence—for the creative process, for storytelling, and for the healing power of self-expression… perhaps the most powerful message—at least for me—was this line: “Following a strategy only means one thing. You’re still in the how-to world.” That hit me. Brilliant... I’m a big fan and honestly in awe of what you’ve created." - Avinoam Lerner, Cancer & Trauma Recovery Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Author, & TEDx Speaker

Playing in 3D in Splash City
A Playful Approach to Personal Transformation using Cartoon, Story, and Wonder (for Adults and Young Adults) by Deborah Whitaker & Craig Cloutier "Very Impressive." - Stuart Brown, M.D. Founder, National Institute for Play Playing in 3D in Splash City is a story-driven response to a growing public health crisis*—the loss of play—helping adults reclaim emotional vitality, imagination, and self-trust through narrative rather than instruction. Emerging research frames play as an essential component of emotional health and resilience. We're losing our sense of play and Splash City exists to help us find it again. |
*"At the National Institute for Play, we maintain that play is an urgent public health necessity. The pandemic and its aftermath, our nation’s extreme political polarization, global geopolitical conflicts, and the climate crisis contribute to unprecedented, widespread levels of anxiety, depression, addiction, and hopelessness. Play is part of the solution. - Stuart Brown, M.D. Founder, National Institute for Play, The Power of Play, Losing and Finding Ourselves Through Everyday Play 2024
The Transformative Power of Story
“In a 2D mindset, you write the story and usually fall short of living up to it.
In a 3D mind in motion, you live the story and usually fall short in trying to express it in words.” – Craig Cloutier

Every book in the “Playing in 3D in Splash City” series takes you on a hero’s journey. The hero’s journey, or monomyth, created by the late mythologist Joseph Campbell in “The Hero with a Thousand Faces,” is a popular screenwriting format and the basis for some of our most beloved movies, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and “Star Wars.” The hero’s journey is a dream journey; an untraveled path, led only by purpose and imagination, a sacred and universal path of individuals toward themselves. The only instructions are the serendipities that occur along the way.
