Escapism is the use of imagination, entertainment, art, music, celebration and recreation to transcend the mundane or unpleasant realities of daily life. It is often portrayed negatively as avoidance of problems that require attention.
The Value of EscapismAs long as it doesn't go too far, escapism has tremendous value to wellbeing and culture. Dwelling in problems isn't necessarily the most efficient way to solve them. Daydreaming is considered a valuable exercise in creativity. Listening to music or watching a film may stimulate enthusiasm or provide a new perspective on problems.
