Jane McGonigal (@avantgame), PhD, is a senior researcher at
the Institute for the Future and the author of The New York
Times bestseller Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us
Better and How They Can Change the World. Her work has been
featured in The Economist, Wired, and The New
York Times. She has been called one of the "top ten innovators to
watch" by BusinessWeek and one of the "100 most
creative people in business” by Fast Company. Her TED
talks on games have been viewed more than ten million times. In
this conversation, we dig into everything from recovering from
head trauma to how you can use Candy Crush Saga to lose
weight. Not enough? How about using Tetris to prevent PTSD, or
using Call of Duty to increase empathy? Her latest book
is SuperBetter, which offers a revolutionary (science-based)
approach for getting stronger, happier, and more resilient. I’ve
been testing it, and it works. Not only am I feeling better,
but I’m having more fun. As adults, we often lose track of play.
My hope is that this episode will help you to reclaim
it. It’s not frivolous; it can help you get a lot more done
with less stress. In this episode we discuss: Examples of real
world problems that are solved with games or by gamers How
Jane climbed herself out of the hole of suicidal
thoughts Action steps for using gaming lessons and applying
them to real life How to build a quest into your
life The health effects of Candy Crush Saga On the use
of psychedelics to simulate traumatic experiences And much
more... Links, resources, and show notes from this episode
