Sütve, rántva, pörköltnek- egyaránt tökéletes választás. Sajnos, méltatlanul mellőzik ezt az egyik legegészségesebb fehérjeforrást a magyarok. Itthon alig kapni ezt a húsfélét a boltokban, külföldön azonban igazi luxus, megvesznek érte. Juráskó Róbert, a Nyúl Terméktanács elnöke.

In this episode, we turn to community college for a discussion of how gamification can create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment. Dr. Sascha McKeon is a biology instructor and faculty at Blue Mountain Community College. Leonne talks with Sascha about how she successfully gamified her biology for non-majors course by creating four different paths to completion based on the four “houses” in the Harry Potter book series. Sascha explains how and why she got started in gamification, how she has implemented it, and its effects on her students. In her examples, gamification dovetails with differentiation and Universal Design for Learning strategies by giving students abundant choice in how they complete the course. In this way, different learning styles are valued, opening the door to increased student ownership, relevance, self-awareness, and self-empowerment. A devout researcher, Sacha has carefully measured and assessed her gamified course to evaluate both student success and course rigor. By using LMS analytics, Sascha found the amount of time students invested in the biology course (doing science!) tripled when compared with previous iterations of the course. For those new to gamification, Sascha recommends starting small and looking for ways to increase student choice.

Hey, have you subscribed to the bookmark newsletter? If you liked this, you might like my twice-monthly email with book reviews and ideas of what you should be reading, and listening to, next. Click here to subscribe. About the book The COVID-19 pandemic, increasingly frequent climate disasters, a new war — events we might have called “unimaginable” or “unthinkable” in the past are now reality. Today it feels more challenging than ever to feel unafraid, hopeful, and equipped to face the future with optimism. How do we map out our lives when it seems impossible to predict what the world will be like next week, let alone next year or next decade? What we need now are strategies to help us recover our confidence and creativity in facing uncertain futures. In Imaginable, Jane McGonigal draws on the latest scientific research in psychology and neuroscience to show us how to train our minds to think the unthinkable and imagine the unimaginable. She invites us to play with the provocative thought experiments and future simulations she's designed exclusively for this book, with the goal to: Build our collective imagination so that we can dive into the future and envision, in surprising detail, what our lives will look like ten years from now Develop the courage and vision to solve problems creatively Take actions and make decisions that will help shape the future we desire Access “urgent optimism,” an unstoppable force within each of us that activates our sense of agency Imaginable teaches us to be fearless, resilient, and bold in realizing a world with possibilities we cannot yet imagine—until reading this transformative, inspiring, and necessary book.

Text HAWK to 66866 for "Mindful Monday" Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12 https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Jane McGonigal, PhD is a world-renowned designer of alternate reality games — or, games that are designed to improve real lives and solve real problems. She believes game designers are on a humanitarian mission — and her #1 goal in life is to see a game developer win a Nobel Peace Prize. She is a two-time New York Times bestselling author: Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World and SuperBetter: The Power of Living Gamefully. Her TED talks on how games can make a better world and the game that can give you 10 extra years of life, are among the all-time most popular TED talks, and have more than 15 million views. Jane dedicates this book to her sister Kelly... "who lives six minutes in the future." They are twins. "It's so helpful having her. If she can achieve something (TED Talks, Books), I could do it too." Being able to predict the future is not enough. You have to be bale to pre-feel it. Write down your long term plans. "Talk about a world you want to wake up in." "Any useful idea about the future should sound rediculous initially." "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." How to think like a futurist? In the corporate world... Carve out a role for yourself to fight short-terminism. Fight short term thinking. Play the long game. Create future planning habits in your organization. Dare to daydream. Take ownership - Create moments of joy... Be of service to others. A 30 second practical activity: Imagine 10 years from now... Where are you? What woke you up? Who are you with? The 3 questions to give you a baseline sense of your “future mindset” When you think about the next 10 years, do you think things will mostly stay the same and go on as normal? Or do you expect that most of us will dramatically rethink and reinvent how we do things? When you think about how the world and your life will change over the next 10 years, are you mostly worried or mostly optimistic? How much control or influence do you feel you personally have in determining how the world and your life change over the next 10 years? How to predict the future? Unstick your mind Think The Unthinkable Imagine the Unimaginable Imaginable - How to see the future coming and feel ready for anything– even things that seem impossible today One of the issues that cause depression is it doesn't allow you to imagine a future. For us as leaders, we need to be able to imagine a positive future for ourselves and our team. Be a spotlight for other people's good ideas. Bring attention to it. Be known as someone who spreads positive gossip Living in the present. Giannis – "When you focus on the past, that's your ego... And when I focus on the future it's my pride... And I kind of like to focus in the moment, in the present. And that's humility. That's being humble."
Stacy Kim is a freelance writer who’s beginning to see some real success in her career, with bylines in Real Simple, The Washington Post, Wired and more. We talked to her about getting started as a writer, finding her topic and her expertise, and learning that it’s not enough to have a story—you have to give the editor a reason to want you to share it, and the reader a reason to want to read it.

It’s a challenge for many of us to admit we know things, that we’re good at things, that we have experience to offer. If your experience is as a reader and editor, maybe it’s time for you to turn what you have to offer into a real business by becoming a book coach. Just imagine enrolling in the classes, meeting a cohort, learning all the ways coaches are editorial and emotional support for writers and then starting to line up your first clients. Students working with Author Accelerator say they begin to book authors before they’re even done with the course, and often end up being booked months in advance. Sound like fun? AGREED.

Wie entwickelt man eigentlich ein Spiel? In dieser Folge freuen wir uns, euch ein brandheißes Interview mit Jonas Tyroller präsentieren zu können! Wir hatten den Spieleentwickler zu Gast und sprachen mit ihm über die Spiel-Engine Unity, Indie-Game-Development im Allgemeinen und seine aktuellen Projekte. Jonas gibt uns eine Einführung in die Grundlagen von Unity und erzählt, wie und mit welcher Programmiersprache die Entwicklungsumgebung ideal funktioniert. An seinen Erfahrungen in der Spieleentwicklung lässt er uns teilhaben und verrät, welche Disziplinen einzurechnen sind, um eigenständig ein Projekt veröffentlichen zu können.

Charlie Capen Humor, says Charlie Capen, is one of the most important tools in parenting. But this actor/musician/writer/dad-of-two-boys isn't afraid to get serious either. Capen is one of the founders of HowToBeADad.com, which he freely admits uses humor as a way to get guys to talk and think about parenting. A generation ago, there were few -- if any -- spaces for dads to discuss the challenges of parenthood. Today's dads often grew up with career-focused fathers who spent little time on day-to-day childcare. Now, fathers are increasingly involved in their children's lives but they're still stymied by stereotypes. Capen is one of the many dads who are blazing a new trail. He encourages all parents to reject stereotypical expectations and instead use their natural gifts and talents to connect with their children. "Every time I tried to be what I thought was a 'good dad,' I removed my creativity and my ability from parenting" Capen says. "I started to do things that we out of character and I left out whole parts of myself, and as soon as I started accepting, 'this is my parenting style & how I choose to live,' more power and ability arose." That's not to say he has parenting figured out. He doesn't. "Parenting is the process of unlearning the things you absolutely thought you knew," Capen says. But "not knowing" is a powerful agent for change. When you accept the fact that you don't have all the answer, you're free to explore and experiment. Wondering why Jen has a blanket on her head? Blame California's Pacific Gas & Electric. We like to snap a photo with our guests, but Charlie was reluctant; he lives in CA and his power was off due to the threat of wildfire -- which meant that he hadn't been able to shower or style his hair prior to our conversation. We reassured him & told him we've recorded LOTS of episodes like that! (Pictorial evidence below). Charlie gamely pulled up his hood and Janet did too, in solidarity, and Jen didn't have a hood, so...Silly photo brought to you by PG&E. :) Remember: humor is one of the most important tools in parenting (and life)! In this episode, Janet, Jen & Charlie discuss: Using humor to survive parenting Dad stereotypes How moms subsconsciously interfere with dads' relationships with their kids Breaking down gender stereotypes to empower children & adults Why you should embrace your unique skills, talents & interests (& stop worrying about the "shoulds!") The benefits of striving for harmony, vs. striving for balance Identifying and meeting the needs of each unique child Surviving parenting challenges Gaming for social good Links we mentioned (or should have) in this episode: HowToBeADad.com -- the website Charlie founded GISH.com -- online home of the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World, by Jane McGonigal -- book mentioned at 32:38 LIKE THIS EPISODE?

We often see video games as a form of consumer entertainment—an escape from reality, not that different from watching TV or reading a book. But the structure of games are perhaps fundamental to what it means to be human. By playing them, we can learn to be and rehearse as doctors, pilots, engineers, lawyers, and more. We might also overcome real conditions, such as depression and addiction. Ben has a powerful and provocative conversation with gaming, gamification and learning expert David Chandross. About the Guest David Chandross holds masters degrees in both cognitive neuroscience and higher education and a doctorate in curriculum design. As one of the founders of the field of gamification he has not only developed numerous games for training in industry and universities, but also participated in broad research projects in this field. His original work was on neuroscience, pharmacology, and the role of attention in the brain. This transformed into an interest in education for the health professions, where he held the rank of Dean, Assistant Dean, and Program Coordinator across sectors like medical technology management, medical education and allied health professions training. He developed an interest in the use of simulations in medical education which then focused on the design of games to use simulations effectively in undergraduates. After participating as a researcher in the $3 million dollar SAGE gamification grant at Simon Fraser University he worked with organizations across many sectors to improve learning through serious game design. Since that time Dr. Chandross has designed game systems for improving memory in seniors, training health professionals for management of the frail elderly, the design of instruction for the financial sector, cyber-security professionals, Elections Canada, the Canadian Armed Forces, the Faculty of Medicine at University of Toronto, Baycrest Health Sciences, Ryerson University, the National University of Health Sciences, ARC Business Solutions, the energy sector, the College of Family Physicians, Ontario and Humber College. His current research focus is in two areas: (1) The treatment of memory loss in seniors with dementia using streaming digital technology and (2) the optimization of virtual reality and immersive technology in learning. He is the program coordinator for seniors’ off campus education at Ryerson University and is active in the development of advanced systems for training health professionals as part of the E-Campus and Contact North initiatives for the province of Ontario. Mentioned in this Episode Walter Greenleaf, a behavioural neuroscientist at Stanford University David Kaufman, professor of education at Simon Fraser University Martin Seligman, American psychologist (positive psychology) Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst, a book by Robert Sapolsky Richard Bartle, British professor and game researcher Paul Howard-Jones, professor of neuroscience and education at Bristol University Ready Player One, a book by Ernest Cline followed by a 2018 film directed by Steven Spielberg Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari The Matrix, the 1999 film Jordan Peterson, University of Toronto psychologist Black Mirror, a series on Netflix Donald Trump, Doug Ford and Jordan Peterson, an article in the National Post by guest David Chandross The Quote of the Week “A game is an opportunity to focus our energy, with relentless optimism, at something we’re good at (or getting better at) and enjoy. In other words, gameplay is the direct emotional opposite of depression.” - From Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World by Jane McGonigal

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by co-collaborator, Sam Falco! Sam is an agile coach and Certified Scrum Professional with an extensive background in leading agile development teams. Today, they’re going to be talking all about games and why they are an important part of agile. Sam illustrates why games are not just time-wasters, but are actually powerful learning tools that help teams come together and solve problems. Sam and Dan discuss what constitutes a game, why they’re important to agile, the difference between games and simulations, and the importance of doing a debrief with simulations to ensure the learning objective is achieved. Sam also gives some examples of different games, how to use them in training, and some sources of resistance to games that may show up in the workplace and how to solve them. Key Takeaways Why are games important to Agile? They help build relationships They have goals, rules, a feedback system, and voluntary participation (very similar to Scrum — which is why it can be so powerful to leverage) Cooperative games build team rapport They allow time for a break on difficult work-related problems while still building problem-solving skills Games that Sam recommends: Hanabi, the card game The Penny Game The Ball Point Game The Rope Game Escape: The Curse of the Temple, the board game Rory Story Cubes, the dice game Apples to Apples, the card game How games can be used in training: Hold retrospectives to discuss how to get better within these games Tie these games back to how to work better together as a team over time Use them as a learning tool to learn about individual team players and how they function within a team Bring games into the retrospectives to shake things up Debrief after the game to reflect on key lessons Sources of resistance to games that may show up in an organization and how to solve them: Someone senior in the organization may not understand and consider it a waste of money (Solution: explain the value that both the company and the teams will be gaining) An internal barrier within the group where someone may perceive an activity or game as weird or uncomfortable (Solution: you can adjust the game or allow people to opt out) Mentioned in this Episode: Sam Falco (LinkedIn) Global Game Jam Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World, by Jane McGonigal The Grasshopper — Games, Life and Utopia, by Bernard Suits and Frank Newfeld Hanabi (Card Game) Penny Game Ball Point Game The Rope Game Escape: The Curse of the Temple (Board Game) Rory Story Cubes Apples to Apples (Card Game) Lead True: Live Your Values, Build Your People, Inspire Your Community, by Jeff Thompson Agile Coaches’ Corner, Ep. 20: “Dr. Jeff Thompson on Values-Based Leadership” Sam Falco’s Book Pick She Has Her Mother's Laugh: The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity, by Carl Zimmer Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

Is it simply keeping a journal? A private blog? Scraps of notes on index cards? Should this journaling be private, or is there any benefit to be found in sharing it? This time we're joined by Ashley Knapp, a cartoonist and author who has explored many reflection methods in an effort to reach readers and improve her work. Together we'll unbox how reflecting more intentionally can improve your work and help clarify your message to potential readers.

Peter and Jenny have two special guests this week: Jacob Toman and Michael Mendis from Gospel & Gaming! Gospel & Gaming is, in their own words, "a ministry dedicated to sharing the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ with gamers all over the world." Jacob and Michael did a great job representing them, explaining their mission in online gaming communities and tabletop gaming communities alike. We also addressed a question from Patreon backer Jim Nanban, who asked us about the coolest piece of RPG paraphernalia we each own. (As promised, there's a picture of Peter's dice bag right here in the show notes.) We also briefly plug our Discord channel, which is continuing to grow as a community. Then everyone settles in to talk about evangelism and how Gospel & Gaming approaches it—even to the point where Michael and Jacob turn the interview around and start asking the hosts questions! A couple of quick notes about this episode: First, Grant was very sick and missed out on a pair of awesome guests. (He's better now.) Second, Peter's audio sounds very bad this episode; there was a hardware problem writing his track to disk that wasn't apparent during the discussion. And third, as hard as Grant tried we simply could not edit Blarey the Podcast Train out of this episode. That means that this is Blarey's first official podcast appearance. Enjoy! Also mentioned in this episode were three books Jacob highly recommended as primers for Gospel & Gaming's mission: Michael Green's Evangelism in the Early Church; Jerram Barr's The Heart of Evangelism; and Jane McGonigal's Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World. Scripture: Psalm 105:1-4, Matthew 13:10-13, Romans 10:11-15
In this episode of Art and Science Punks, Kate and Rob discuss using game design as a way to give ourselves feedback on our own tasks, goals, and when we're coaching our kids. That's an experiment we call "teamwork and hustle" or "let's try this to see if this makes our morning routine suck less". As we do, we wrap up the show with an art pick and science pick of things we've found fun and useful.

25 | Solo | Mein Bücherregal Teil 2 Vorab schon einmal mein Hebel zum Thema Bücher: anstatt Bücher zu lesen, höre ich sie als Hörbücher. Ich habe bei Audible ein Abo (9,95 €/Monat für ein Buch meiner Wahl, jedes weitere Buch 9,95 €) und schaffe mindestens 1 Buch im Monat, das Abo lohnt sich also. Außerdem höre ich mit 1,5 bis 2facher Geschwindigkeit. So kann ich den Hauptinhalt schnell erfassen und komme auf die Bücher zurück, wenn ich sie dann konkret brauche. So schaffe ich es enorm viele Bücher in kurzer Zeit zu hören, vielleicht hilft euch dieser Hebel ja auch. Außerdem: Auf Goodreads könnt ihr sehen, welche Bücher ich abgesehen von den hier vorgestellten sonst so gelesen habe, falls euch das auch interessiert. Wie beim letzten Mal sind die Überschriften wieder direkt mit Amazon verlinkt, sodass ihr die Bücher direkt kaufen könnt (und ich ein paar Prozente bekomme :) ) Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World - Jane McGonigal In diesem Buch geht es darum, wie uns "Gamification" motiviert, Dinge zu tun. Ich zum Beispiel habe jeden Tag meine Listen, die ich abarbeiten möchte. Ich will 3 Gläser Wasser trinken, ich will jeden Abend meinen Tagesabschluss machen und so weiter. Es ist für mich wie ein Spiel, diese Liste jeden Tag komplett abgehakt zu haben und es frustriert mich, wenn ich es nicht schaffe. So kann man natürlich nicht nur sein eigenes Leben gamifizieren, sondern auch beispielsweise die Mitarbeiter in der Firma motivieren. Bei mir wirkt das enorm gut, vielleicht ist das ja bei euch ebenfalls so. Wenn euch genauer interessiert, wie ich meinen Tag organisiere, dann schaut doch hier vorbei. A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future - Daniel Pink Man kann in der Wirtschaft beobachten, dass alle Jobs, die nicht mit Kreativität verbunden sind, immer mehr durch Computer bzw. Roboter ersetzt werden. Damit euch das nicht passiert, solltet ihr euch immer die Frage stellen, ob das was ihr macht einen ernsthaften Wert liefert. Um das rauszufinden, habe ich aus dem Buch mal drei Fragen heraus gesucht: 1. Kann es jemand günstiger machen? Hier geht es auch um das Thema Outsourcing. 2. Könnte es ein Computer schneller erledigen? Man denke hier zum Beispiel an die Buchhaltung und was sich dort durch den Computer getan hat. 3. Schafft ihr einen bleibenden Wert im Zeitalter des Überflusses? Wir haben ja alles zur Verfügung, deswegen muss schon was mit Mehrwert her. Man kann ja mal drüber nachdenken, schadet ja nicht. Das große 1x1 der Erfolgsstrategie: EKS® - Erfolg durch Spezialisierung - Kerstin Friedrich EKS - engpasskonzentrierte Strategie - ist ja öfter Thema bei mir, weil ich es echt wichtig finde. Der Kern ist, dass wenn eine Ressource fehlt, dann kann noch so viel von allem anderen da sein, das Wachstum geht nicht weiter. Eine Pflanze zum Beispiel braucht Wasser, Licht, Phosphor, Kalium... Wenn eines fehlt, wird die Pflanze sterben, auch wenn noch so viel von allem anderen da ist. Bei der EKS geht es darum, die Engpässe in anderen Firmen zu erkennen, und die passende Lösung zu liefern. Wenn ihr ein Produkt anbietet, was den Engpass in vielen Firmen löst, dann seid ihr natürlich der Hit. Mir hat dieses Buch und das Konzept viel weiter geholfen, ich empfehle es euch wärmstens. 80/20 Sales and Marketing: The Definitive Guide to Working Less and Making More - Perry Marshall Die 80/20 Regel besagt, dass 80% eures Umsatzes von 20% eurer Kunden kommen. Deswegen ist es gut zu wissen, wer diese 20% sind damit ihr mehr solcher Kunden anwerben könnt. Im Buch wird alles zwar aufs Marketing bezogen, aber es ist trotzdem hilfreich, das Buch zu lesen wenn ihr ein Unternehmen habt. Für mich war auf jeden Fall viel Hilfreiches dabei. Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future - Peter Thiel Peter Thiel, der Autor, ist der PayPal Gründer, vielleicht kennt ihr ihn ja daher. Er ist auf jeden Fall einer der erfolgreichsten Unternehmer im Silicon Valley. Im Buch geht es darum, wie man als Startup von der Idee, also von Zero, zu einem funktionierenden Produkt, also zu One, kommt. Später dann kann man auch an der Vervielfachung des Produkts arbeiten, also von 1 to n. Das sind unternehmerisch zwei komplett verschiedene Dinge und es ist auch nicht jeder im Stande, beides zu können. Ich zum Beispiel bin eher der Zero to One Typ, aber in der Vervielfältigung bin ich nicht so gut. Da sollte ich dann wohl Kooperationen eingehen. Außerdem geht auch er auf das Thema ein, wie die EKS auch, dass ihr mit eurem Produkt ein konstantes Bedürfnis befriedigen müsst, um langfristig Erfolg zu haben. Finite and Infinite Games - James Carse Ich bin ganz ehrlich: dieses Buch ist unglaublich schwer zu lesen. Die Quintessenz ist, dass es endliche und unendliche Spiele gibt (das ganze Leben wird als Spiel aufgefasst). Ein endliches Spiel wäre zum Beispiel ein Fußballspiel, da ist vornherein klar, dass es irgendwann endet. Ein Unternehmen hingegen ist ein unendliches Spiel, es soll ja im besten Fall nicht aufhören. Auch das Leben selbst kann man als endlich oder als unendlich betrachten: Entweder strebt man nach einem bestimmtem Ziel, zum Beispiel 1 Million Euro zu haben, oder man strebt beispielsweise danach, glücklich zu sein. Der Vorteil und Nachteil an unendlichen Spielen ist, dass es kein Ende gibt. Am besten sollte man sich also unendliche Spiele aufbauen, bei denen das Spielen so viel Spaß macht, dass man kein Ende braucht. Glücklich sein ist also gar kein schlechtes Spiel. Spent: Sex, Evolution, and Consumer Behavior - Geoffrey Miller In diesem Buch habe ich zum ersten Mal verstanden, wie Dekadenz funktioniert. Warum kaufen Leute teure Autos und riesige Häuser? Im Grunde klar: Weil sie zeigen wollen, dass sie so viel Geld haben, dass sie so verschwenderisch damit umgehen können. Leute, die sich für Geld interessieren, werden tief beeindruckt sein. Oftmals das andere Geschlecht, was ja auch im Grunde das Ziel ist aus evolutionärer Sicht. Heute mag es das Geld sein, früher waren es andere Ressourcen, mit denen durch verschwenderischen Umgang geprahlt werden sollte. Mitunter sogar das Leben: Wenn ein Seefahrer von oben bis unten tätowiert war und trotzdem noch lebte (Tätowierungen waren vorm Sterilisieren der Geräte nämlich echt gefährlich), war das ein Zeichen dafür, dass er einen starken Körper hat. Das schindet natürlich Eindruck beim Arbeitgeber wie bei den Frauen. Ein wirklich interessantes Buch um die Welt etwas besser zu verstehen. Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity - Douglas Rushkoff Ein Buch zum Thema Anti-Innovation. Es geht darum, dass Start-Ups heute oft nach immer mehr Wachstum streben und schnell viel Geld machen wollen. Dabei sind sie oft auf Investoren angewiesen, und befinden sich dann in einer Mühle, da sie ja wachsen müssen, damit es sich für die Investoren lohnt. Aber das muss ja nicht sein. Man kann auch langsam wachsen, keiner zwingt einen dazu, riesig zu werden. Ich zum Beispiel habe gar nicht das Ziel ein riesiges Unternehmen zu erschaffen, ich muss nur gut davon leben können. Das reicht mir erst mal. Ein guter Podcast zu diesem Thema ist Team Human von Douglas Rushkoff, in dem er erzählt, warum wir vielleicht nicht alle Ressourcen verballern sollten. Smart Business Concepts - Ehrenfried und Brigitte Conta Gromberg Ehrenfried Conta Gromberg hatte ich ja auch schon mal bei mir im Podcast. In dem Buch geht es darum, welche Unternehmensformen es so gibt. Er und seine Frau sind gut darin, Kategorien zu entwickeln, und daraus abgeleitet Handlungsanweisungen. Es gibt also verschiedene Businessmodelle, und dann kann man natürlich sein Produkt auch innerhalb der Modelle noch auf verschiedne Weise anbieten. Mir gefällt an den Arbeiten von Ehrenfried und Brigitte Conta Gromberg immer gut, dass sie so gut Kategorien bilden und Vorgehensweisen ableiten können. Auch sehr lesenswert auf jeden Fall. Und auch an dieser Stelle würde ich mich wieder über euer Feedback für meinen Jahresrückblick freuen! Da ich den nicht direkt an Silvester raushauen werde, habt ihr auch noch etwas länger Zeit. Also gebt Laut, ich würde mich darüber freuen :) Super cool wären ja auch Audio Dateien mit eurem Feedback, die ich dann aber auch automatisch in den nächsten Podcast mit rein schneiden darf. Schickt mir dafür eine Audiodatei per WhatsApp oder als Datei in ner Email oder wie ihr wollt. Natürlich freue ich mich auch ungemein über eure Buchtipps, her damit! Ich will ja schließlich meine 1000 Bücher voll kriegen!

Leading game designer Jane McGonigal joins guest host Rohan Gunatillake to explore the relationship between games and well-being, and see what clues they might hold for the future of Buddhist practice. Jane starts with a surprising disclose: she is a meditation practitioner and has been studying Buddhism for the last 5 years, since she was a grad student in Berkley. She explains how her work with game design and development ties in with her interest in meditation, explaining the strong overlap between the positive qualities cultivated through good games, and those cultivation through mental training. Rohan proposes that the Buddha’s own story could be likened to a type of epic video game, and building off of that discusses the likelihood of being able to design a game that actively cultivates the 7 factors of awakening—a classic Buddhist list on the qualities that lead to enlightenment. Jane speaks about enlightenment as an “epic win” and maintains that gaming has the very real potential to cultivate the factors of awakening.
