Here is the third blog post in a series featuring videos on YouTube, where I read from one of my motivational books for one minute.
In this video, I read from The Who, What, When, Where, Why & How of Turning Life into Fun Games: A Compressed Version of the Self-Gamification Happiness Formula.
The extract I am reading is from the chapter titled “How?”.
Here it is if you want to read along, prior, or afterward.

Excerpt from The Who, What, When, Where, Why & How of Turning Life into Fun Games
1. Self-Gamification is a lifestyle
So far, we have considered all the five “W” questions — those starting with the words “who,” “what,” “when,” “where” and “why.”
The remaining question is how to turn something or anything into games.
The answer is multi-faceted, and in a way, the whole book is about how to do it, because the “how?” embraces the answers to all the “W” questions: “who?”, “what?”, “when?”, “where?” and “why?”.
But the most important facet of how to turn our lives into games is that the gameful approach to life, Self-Gamification, just like those for our health, well-being, and happiness, is not a one-time pill to fix a problem once and for all, but a lifestyle. Because:
