  • Only last year, the US-based analysts Gartner predicted that 70% of the world's top 2000 companies will be using gamification in some form by 2014.

  • play," for which my favorite description is "intense, optimistic engagement with the world around us."
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • central to the flow experience were three factors: clear goals, rigidly defined rules of engagement, and the potential for measured improvement in the context of those goals and rules.
  • If flow represents the height of the human capacity to learn?and therefore to triumph?fiero is the payoff that happens once we do that.
  • The root of that meaning is the fiero impulse, which inspires optimism by evincing mastery?and mastery helps us feel capable of meeting the most intense challenges of our lives.
  • you're always aware of the system inside which you operate, what you can and cannot do. That's vital to create flow.
