McGonigal argues that the skills and emotional resilience developed through gaming can be harnessed for real-world problem-solving and personal fulfillment. The book is structured around the idea that many aspects of reality are lacking in the same kind of compelling engagement and satisfaction that games provide. McGonigal outlines various ways in which game mechanics can be applied to education, business, and social issues to enhance motivation and cooperation.</p>
