Games are unnecessary obstacles we volunteer to tackle.

A traumatic event doesn't doom us to suffer indefinitely. Instead, we can use it as a springboard to unleash our best qualities and lead happier lives.

We have to accept as a society that games are not escapist. They really do change us.

Research shows that when we're under stress or facing a major obstacle, we tend to focus on our weaknesses and what we're afraid of.

Gamers always believe that an epic win is possible and that it's always worth trying and trying now.

The real world just doesn’t offer up as easily the carefully designed pleasures, the thrilling challenges, and the powerful social bonding afforded by virtual environments. Reality doesn’t motivate us as effectively. Reality isn’t engineered to maximize our potential. Reality wasn’t designed from the bottom up to make us happy.

We can boost our immune systems by strengthening our social networks and decreasing stress.
