Game design isn’t just a technological craft. It’s a twenty-first-century way of thinking and leading.

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

What's really amazing about games is how they change our emotional response to challenges

Games are unnecessary obstacles we volunteer to tackle.

If you can manage to experience three positive emotions for every one negative emotion … you dramatically improve your health and your ability to successfully tackle any problem you're facing.

We've been playing games since humanity had civilization - there is something primal about our desire and our ability to play games. It's so deep-seated that it can bypass latter-day cultural norms and biases.

There is no problem that doesn't have some underlying need for more optimism, stamina, resilience and collaboration. And games are, I believe, the best platform we have for providing that.
