KANSAS CITY, Mo. - May 24, 2025 - PRLog -- What if healing your adult life meant remembering how to play again?

Charles Rivers' new book, Can Your Inner Child Come Out to Play: A Playbook for Overworked, Overwhelmed, and Over-It Adults, delivers a joy-fueled alternative to burnout. With wit, warmth, and unfiltered honesty, Rivers urges readers to trade their to-do lists for a little silliness—and rediscover the emotional freedom they left behind with their lunchbox years.

"Most self-help books give you homework," says Rivers. "This one invites you to laugh until you cry and maybe even splash in a puddle. Your inner child isn't gone—it's just been grounded by adulthood. It's time for recess."

Through laugh-out-loud stories and soulful insights, Rivers explores the baggage we carry from childhood, the burnout we normalize as adults, and how to reconnect with the joy we've quietly buried. Chapters like "YOUR HAPPINESS CALLED—IT MISSES YOU" and "I THOUGHT I WAS BROKEN (TURNS OUT I'M JUST VERY CREATIVE)" offer emotional clarity with a dose of playful rebellion. Each chapter ends with reflection prompts designed to spark real transformation—not just inspiration.

Why this book is resonating:
  • It exposes the silent epidemic of joy-deprivation hiding behind modern "adulting."
  • It fuses emotional depth with humor—a rare mix in today's self-help landscape.
  • It feels like a late-night conversation with your wisest, funniest friend—not a lecture.

Early Praise:

"I laughed, I cried, I texted my therapist—this book is the permission slip I didn't know I needed."
"The most fun I've had confronting my emotional baggage. Highly recommend."
