Personal Development

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The purpose of Part 1 is to help you tap into your psychological strengths when you play games. When you play games with purpose, you tap into three core psychological strengths: your ability to control your attention and thoughts, your power to turn anyone into a potential ally, and your natural capacity to motivate yourself and supercharge your heroic qualities.

#2 The science of games has focused almost exclusively on digital games, and this book is grounded in the science of games. It focuses on the kinds of games that scientists have dedicated the most time and energy to understanding.

#3 You can prime your brain to be more open to creative solutions and more receptive to surprising ideas by turning your palms up. This mind-body response stems from physical behaviors we exhibited thousands of years ago before we invented language.

#4 The highly immersive quality of good games is a clue to how our attention works. In this chapter, we’ll look at video game research that reveals the power we have to prevent anxiety, depression, trauma, and physical pain by learning to control our attention.
