Level Up Your Happiness: Using Video Game Principles to Increase Life Satisfaction

language ( July 18, 2019)
Modern life is divided between two worlds: the physical and the virtual. Every day, millions of people use video games to escape the drudgery of their physical world. Maybe there's illness or perhaps an unfulfilling job. Whatever the cause, people live unhappily and unfulfilled and are looking for something more, something that their physical world isn’t giving them.

The goal of this book is to identify the components of video games that create engaging and fulfilling environments and to discuss ways to incorporate those into the physical world. In other words, how can we treat our physical world like a video game to increase life satisfaction?

We're all trying to live happy lives, and video games can teach us how to level up our happiness.
