For many of the skills, McGonigal explains how you might have learned the skill from a video game, but also gives examples of other non-gaming activities that may encourage the same type of growth. Not a gamer? Not to worry, this book is still a valuable resource. She took a motivational framework that everyone is innately familiar with and applied it to areas of need in our lives. Whether it be on a computer, a console or simply a smartphone, most of us play games to some degree and McGonigal understood this when she put SuperBetter together. ![]() The team here at Gamify are obviously big on gaming, as a lot of you readers are as well whether you acknowledge it or not. As big advocates for the power that game elements can bring forth when incorporated into non-game activities, of course we had to read Jane McGonigal’s “SuperBetter” to see what she has to say on the matter. ![]()
