SuperBetter! Personal development game
« on: August 14, 2012, 04:15:02 PM »


 HI everyone,

 I Discovered this yesterday and I am hooked on it: www.superbetter.com

 It applies the principles of video games (levels, power ups, etc) to real world personal development issues - from anxiety and depression through to recovering and coping with severe illness or surgery.

All of the "quests" and activities are tailored specifically to what you are working toward, and are backed up by good science/linked to the studies that influence them.

You can have allies so you can support each other along the road, send each other messages etc.  (I don't have any allies yet).

I am working on my anxiety using it since yesterday - I really like it, and it is a pretty site!

I'm mentioning it here so if anyone is interested we can work on it together  :action-smiley-065:

I move forward with my anxiety because I WANT to.

I checked this out the other day, someone in chat mentioned it.
Played around on it for a while but never got the hang of it; it does seem pretty good and if it helps one person then that is brilliant.

I've used this in the past, & although it eventually lost its appeal for me, it's definitely worth checking out. :) There's also a mobile app, for those who have iPhones--it may be available on other platforms, but I don't know.  :yes:
