The Finite & The Infinite Game

•Finite games have winners and losers, predefined space and time. They seek mastery and completion.

•Infinite games have no predetermined end, they continue as long as players keep playing. They seek continued re-engagement and participation.

Action: Consider which "games" you play in life - are they more finite or infinite in nature? Focus on playing more infinite games that allow for growth and learning.

The Rules Of Finite Games

•Finite games have fixed sets of rules that determine outcome. Players try to master the rules and procedures to win.

•Rules limit creativity and power in finite games, whereas in infinite games rules are invitations not limitations.

Action: Examine the "rules" in your life and work - are any stifling creativity and growth? Consider loosening fixed rules to allow more flexibility.

The Rules Of Infinite Games

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug
