Description

Improve mental health, resilience and social-emotional skills.

SuperBetter is at heart a simple and transformative idea – we can use the same strengths naturally displayed in game play to confront real-life challenges, build skills, manage stress & practice self-care.

SuperBetter uses the psychology of game play in all of life. Playing SuperBetter means bringing a gameful mindset to real-life - challenging yourself, going for epic wins, adopting a secret identity, completing quests, battling bad guys, activating power-ups and checking-in with allies. The 7 rules for living gamefully is a framework to be stronger, happier, braver & more resilient in everyday life.

Invented by researcher & game designer Jane McGonigal, SuperBetter is backed by science. In a randomized controlled trial at University of Pennsylvania playing SuperBetter for 30 days was associated with significant improvements in mental health and resilience.

The SuperBetter app makes it simple to go for epic wins, track your gameful strengths and build your whole-person resilience - mental, social, emotional & physical. Proven results in 10 minutes a day.

SuperBetter is for youth, teens, young adults & everyone who wants to unlock their heroic potential using the power of living gamefully. Over 1 million people have played SuperBetter.

素晴らしい

書籍とともに利用してます。
やってみると、意外に深いですね。
今まで、見えない敵に翻弄され、
本当の味方を見失ってたことに
気付き始めた感じ。。。

著者さんは「スーパーベターになろう」のなかで、

「死ぬか。ゲームにするか」

というところまで追い詰められたそう。このアプリを利用するなかで、実際に「ゲームにする」ことで、「リアルで勝利する」ことにつながる、その感覚が湧いて来ています。

やはり、書籍読んだだけで、行動(プレイ)しないとダメ。このアプリはそれ(プレイ)を下支えしてくれます。

なお、一つアプリについて疑問が。
Bud guysで、vanquished((完全に)征服する,破る,負かす,克服する)したものについて。
消すことも復活させることも出来なくなる(ボタンがない)のですが、仕様でしょうかね。

日本語版が欲しい

取り組もうと思うが英語を訳すのがめんどくさくなってしまう。

Not for me

I keep going back to it because my friends love it but I find it too wordy, very heavy on text. I wish it had less text and more badges, stickers or icons to make it more light and fun.
