Four Keys to Happiness
May

I was catching up on my reading the other day and I ran across an article that I had bookmarked months ago. I’m not one to wax philosophical, but some of the comments and observations made are worth pointing out. As it is with most people who have a connection to the video game industry, I am constantly challenged about the validity and societal implications of video games. This article speaks to those questions and challenges the industry to continue to strive to be “better”.
The best quote of all comes from Jane McGonigal, ARG designer
the four key elements of happiness:
- having satisfying work to do
- the experience of being good at something
- time spent with people we like
- having a chance to be part of something bigger
The world is most certainly changing in a positive direction when that conversation is happening among video game developers.

The three questions to ask yourself in doing anything.
1. Am I approaching this with acceptance.
2. Am I approaching this with enthusiasm.
3. Am I approaching this with enjoyment.
If the answer is not yes to one of those questions… we will suffer. At least that’s what Eckhart Tolle says and I would have to agree.
