Jane McGonigal: The game that can give you 10 extra years of life (TED Talk)

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.

I learned about Jane and her work on the TED Radio Hour. You can listen to the episode here.
