Games are unnecessary obstacles we volunteer to tackle.

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.

You need to develop mental habits that allow you to activate the same brain patterns we activate during gameplay.

When we know our strengths, we're more likely to use them.

My mom is a public school teacher and works with third grade students.

Any time I consider a new project, I ask myself, is this pushing the state of gaming toward Nobel Prizes? If it's not, then it's not doing anything important enough to spend my time.

Over time, the games we play can change how we think and what we're capable of. And it's easy to maximize the benefits so the changes are positive.
