How to Tap the Power of Games to Live a Better Life | Kelly Clancy

What if the games we play reveal deeper truths about human nature and society? In this mind-expanding conversation, neuroscientist Kelly Clancy, author of <a href="https://amzn.to/459Z0zx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Playing with Reality: How Games Have Shaped Our World</a> explores the profound role of games and game theory in understanding ourselves and actively shaping reality itself. Get ready to rethink what constitutes "winning" and embrace an "infinite game" philosophy focused on mutual flourishing over ego-driven conquests.
