My guest today is Jane McGonigal, a future forecaster and designer of reality games created to improve real lives and solve real problems. She is also the author of two New York Times bestselling books, Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World and SuperBetter: The Power of Living Gamefully. She is the Director of Games Research & Development at the Institute for the Future, a non-profit research group in Palo Alto, California, currently teaches the course “How to Think Like a Futurist” at Stanford University.

The topics are psychology and neuroscience.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Build our collective imagination so that we can dive into the future and envision, in surprising detail, what our lives will look like ten years from now
  • Develop the courage and vision to solve problems creatively
  • Take actions and make decisions that will help shape the future we desire
  • Access “urgent optimism,” an unstoppable force within each of us that activates our sense of agency
