Publisher's Summary:
A revolutionary new self-help book by top-flight game designer Jane McGonigal.
After suffering a brain injury, Jane McGonigal came up with a game to help aid her recovery and battle the ensuing depression she experienced. Half a million people have now played this game to astonishing results: depression gone in six weeks in some cases and even terminal cancer patients reporting that playing the game gives them a sense of control over their own health.
The book shows readers how to use these techniques to find strength and create positivity: listeners can look to their own 'power-ups', which are little things they can do to feel better and tackle the hurdles in their own lives. This book provides simple, step-by-step ideas that can be carried out in day-to-day life, helping you transform your life with a new flexible and reenergised mind-set.
In this book McGonigal uses her own story and the stories of others to expertly demonstrate how simple changes can result in dramatic, life-affirming effects. And what's more, she tells you how you yourself can lead a more "gameful" life.

Members Reviews:
Had high hopes, demotivated halfway
Like the science of the book and the passive gains.
Got overwhelmed by all the rules and quests, epic wins and power ups.
