The game that can give you 10 extra years of life

The game that can give you 10 extra years of life

Jane McGonigal gave a TED talk a year ago about “post-traumatic growth.” I thought it was very informative and a great contribution. Jane is a game designer and from her own experience was able to grow from a traumatic event that changed her life.

When game designer Jane McGonigal found herself bedridden and suicidal following a severe concussion, she had a fascinating idea for how to get better. She dove into the scientific research and created the healing game, SuperBetter. In this moving talk, McGonigal explains how a game can boost resilience — and promises to add 7.5 minutes to your life.
