The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness by Stephen R. Covey, PhD
Productivity Book Group
On December 29, 2021, Productivity Book Group hosted its final book discussion of the year, by Stephen R. Covey, PhD. , bring a copy home , or borrow a copy from your local library, and listen to the discussion above! Note: Amazon is showing the cover of the for the book, so it's a bit confusing. But, the links here to the Amazon listings are for the book (you'll see the title is correct), not the personal workbook. However, I also recommend that if you want to work through the 8th habit materials, the personal workbook is worth getting also!
info_outlineProductivity Book Group [ http://productivitybookgroup.org ] discussed SuperBetter: A Revolutionary Approach to Getting Stronger, Happier, Braver and More Resilient–Powered by the Science of Games, [ http://amzn.to/2jh5Q2D ] by Jane McGonigal, PhD. Enjoy the discussion!
The Amazon book description states:
An innovative guide to living gamefully, based on the program that has already helped nearly half a million people achieve remarkable personal growth
… In this book, McGonigal reveals a decade’s worth of scientific research into the ways all games—including videogames, sports, and puzzles—change how we respond to stress, challenge, and pain. She explains how we can cultivate new powers of recovery and resilience in everyday life simply by adopting a more “gameful” mind-set. Being gameful means bringing the same psychological strengths we naturally display when we play games—such as optimism, creativity, courage, and determination—to real-world goals.
