Book Recommendation: Imaginable (Jane McGonigal)

It is a nice moment when you discover a favourite author has delivered another book (see below, Jane McGonigal of "Super Better" and "Reality is Broken" fame):

She hooked me on this one because she made reference to the USN Naval War College, Bought my copy on wife's Audible subscription so that I can listen to it when I am in the kitchen. Up to chapter two and its interesting, very much so, written in the spirit of Super Better with lots of thought exercises along the way.

A paper book I am reading courtesy of Connections 2016 ... Reality is Broken .. Gaming

The name says it all ... the good guys and gals are the ones playing games or designing them ... have to say along with my other diatribe on ... books I have too many and they take too long to read ... I am slowly working my way through this one (see below):


I have already "listened to" Jane McGonigal's SuperBetter book (or rather audio version of the printed book) and can highly recommend it (see below, if you squint your eyes that is, PS I would click on it to see a bigger version):


A mix between a self-help book and an interesting take on how to enjoy life more if you see yourself as playing "an EPIC game". Don't knock it until you have tried it ;)
