Life is boring: filled with meetings and traffic, errands and emails. Nothing we'd ever call fun. But what if we've gotten fun wrong? In Play Anything, visionary game designer and philosopher Ian Bogost shows how we can overcome our daily anxiety; transforming the boring, ordinary world around us into one of endless, playful possibilities. The key to this playful mindset lies in discovering the secret truth of fun and games.

Convoluted
Revisado: 01-31-17
Would you try another book from Ian Bogost and/or Jonathan Yen?
Not Bogost but Yen was a good narrator
What could Ian Bogost have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
This was very hard to follow in my opinion. I understood the premise that it is the restrictions of things that make it a game, but I felt the examples jumped all over the place.
Have you listened to any of Jonathan Yen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I have not.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
frustration

Craig Beck is one of the fittest and healthiest people you will ever meet. So why is he known around the world as ‘Fat Guy Friday’? In truth that’s exactly what he used to be... a big fat guy! Until one day he said “enough is enough”, and broke the cycle of yo-yo dieting that had plagued his life. On Friday, September 10, 2010, he stood on the scales at a depressing 252 Lbs.

Neat to Hear His Point of View

Where does Slim Now, Slim Forever rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was a good pretty quick listen. With a few nuggets of new information. Although he is trying to sell his other books and website membership along the way.
Which scene was your favorite?
I got the most out of the idea that I subconsciously "need/want" to be fat. I need to change the way I think to change the way I look. I also found his description of a day of his meals to be helpful in thinking that this can be done! This diet plan would work for me as I do think bad carbs and wheat do not do the body good.
Any additional comments?
Craig Beck seems more in the business of selling Craig Beck than necessarily this book topic.

A stunning new approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides in the way they want to improve their careers, financial fitness, physical fitness, and so on?
