Reality Is Broken

"Reality Is Broken" by Jane McGonigal explores how the real world often fails to engage us as effectively as digital games do. McGonigal argues that games tap into our desire for purpose, achievement, and social connection, which can sometimes be lacking in daily life. By understanding what makes games engaging, we can apply these principles to improve real-life experiences, encouraging resilience, collaboration, and motivation. Essentially, the book suggests that integrating game design elements into everyday activities can help make life more meaningful, enjoyable, and fulfilling.
