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.
The video game mentioned in the talk above, SuperBetter, can be found here.
Mcgonigal has given a previous TED talk: Gaming Can Make a Better World.
I found these talks interesting and as a life-ling gamer, they are both encouraging. Enjoy.
