SuperBetter: A Revolutionary Approach to Getting Stronger, Happier, Braver and More Resilient–Powered by the Science of Games

Everyone loves games. They have the wonderful ability to enhance our natural qualities like determination, creativity, optimism, and courage. Jane McGonigal used her background in game design to create a game unlike any you have seen or played before. Its goal is to make you SuperBetter. You can choose what you are getting SuperBetter at, from battling depression, to being motivated to garden, or really whatever you want. This program helps you achieve small and realistic goals that strengthen your physical, mental, emotional, and social resilience.

The book is divided into three sections: Part One shows the proven science behind games, Part Two teaches how to apply what we just learned to our lives (and how SuperBetter uses the science of games to increase the quality of life of those who play it), and Part Three has three adventures to play through, namely “Love Connection” (how to better your relationships), “Ninja Body Transformation” (a diet that helps you change your habits permanently), and “Time Rich” (how to make more out of your day). SuperBetter is a fantastic program that is not only satisfyingly fun, but also amazingly effective and marvelously life-changing for anyone who puts its games into practice.
