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

A game is an opportunity to focus our energy, with relentless optimism, at something we’re good at (or getting better at) and enjoy. In other words, gameplay is the direct emotional opposite of depression.

The single biggest misconception about games is that they're an escapist waste of time.

Games are such a powerful intervention in health and wellness.

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.

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

When we play games, our brains respond differently to stress and obstacles. We're better able to control our attention and ignore distractions.
