Publisher's Summary

People are players of constantly evolving games. When our game is off, things fall apart. Friendships, love interests, and professional relationships crash. To excel, we must level up, becoming the champions of our story—a story in which the world is your playground.

Join Dr. Johnson as he explores the human experience through this playful and gamified perspective. Chris breathes life into textbook topics through tales of adventurers, comic book heroes, scientists, mythological beings, and philosophers. He illustrates a world where our best self is akin to an action-adventure hero. You will learn how play and sports are the modern hero’s journey. Discover the Ludus, and live like the hero of your favorite game.
