Superbetter

About the book
Game designer Jane McGonigal talks about his game "Super Better", which helped tens of thousands of people to cope with anxiety, depression and problems. This book is also about how game thinking can help you in life.

You are stronger than you think.

You are surrounded by potential allies.

You are a hero of your own story.

Three of these qualities are all that you need to become happier, braver and more viable in the face of any problem.

Good news: You already have these qualities. You do not need to change everything. You are already stronger than you think.

You have the ability to control your attention, which means your thoughts and feelings.

You have the strength to find support in the most unexpected places and deepen the existing relationship.

You have a natural ability to motivate yourself and improve your heroic qualities, such as willpower, mercy and determination.

This book will help you understand the forces (abilities) that you already have. She will show you that using these forces is as simple as playing "super -better".

However, this book is not about games - at least not quite about them. She is about how to learn how to show game thinking in conditions of extreme stress and personal problems.

To show game thinking means to use in real life those psychologically strengths that you usually demonstrate in games: optimism, creativity, courage and determination. This means to be curious and open to the consideration of different strategies in order to identify the most effective of them. This means developing the ability to successfully solve more and more complex problems.

For whom this book
For everyone who is fond of online and offline games.

For everyone who does not play at all, but is interested in new ways of thinking and solving problems.
