Game On is a concise examination of mindfulness, the practice of focusing our thoughts on the current moment, and not being overly concerned with the past or the future. The book makes the case for mindfulness as a pragmatic way to reduce stress and to live a life of more contentment: Simply endeavor to live in the moment. So simple to say -- so difficult to do! This book explains how to connect with "now", and gives helpful strategies that can lead to success in making mindfulness a way of life.
A premise of the book is that mindfulness is deceptively simple and yet difficult to maintain. One's frequent failures to remain mindful lead to giving up the practice. The reader is encouraged to see living in the moment as a game, a strategy that reminds one to approach the 'problem' as a child approaches life -- moment by moment with a sense of play.
