Reviews
Gaming is an undeniable growing phenomenon, and The Gaming Mind puts it under a magnifying glass. Alexander Kriss sheds light on long-overlooked deeper questions: Why do we rage quit? Why did we create videogames in the first place? And what do they trigger in us? There's a reason videogames have had a visceral impact on our culture in recent decades--and the answer lies within our own minds. --Naomi Kyle, actor, producer, and host of Last Week in Gaming This is a much-needed, nuanced, and informed analysis of gaming. We've gotten the public narrative on videogames all wrong, which creates a lot of undue worry about the impact they can have on us. Kriss takes us on a heartfelt personal and professional journey, showing how, with careful and empathetic thinking, we can start to get it right. --Dr. Pete Etchells, psychologist and author of Lost In A Good Game
