But some games are better for us than others, and there is too much of a good thing. Here are a few secrets that aren't in the book to help you (or the gamer in your life) get the most positive impact from playing games. This practical advice--5 key quidelines, plus 2 quick rules--is scientifically backed, and it can be summed up in a single sentence: Play games you enjoy no more than 21 hours a week; face-to-face with friends and family as often as you can; and in co-operative or creator modes whenever possible. 1.

According to world-renowned game designer Jane McGonigal the answer is simple: videogames are fulfilling genuine human needs. Drawing on positive psychology, cognitive science and sociology, "Reality is Broken" shows how game designers have hit on core truths about what makes us happy, and utilized these discoveries to astonishing effect in virtual environments.

In this groundbreaking exploration of the power and future of gaming, she reveals how gamers have become expert problem solvers and collaborators, and shows how we can use the lessons of game design to socially positive ends, be it in our own lives, our communities or our businesses. Written for gamers and non-gamers alike, "Reality is Broken" sends a clear and provocative message: the future will belong to those who can understand, design and play games.
