Life is a game – or so they say. SuperBetter teaches you how to take things easy by looking at life as a game, and how to stay resilient, motivated, and thoroughly optimistic even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. With only 10 minutes of SuperBetter per day, you can achieve a wide variety of lifegoals such as developing a new talent, strengthening a relationship, completing a tough project, or making a lifelong dream of yours come true. Moreover, SuperBetter helps you in knocking out mental diseases (e.g. depression and anxiety), in coping with chronic illness or chronic pain, and in recovering from post-traumatic stress. As if we weren’t already impressed, the app is also perfect for overcoming common life challenges including grieving the loss of a loved one, unemployment, and divorce. The gist of SuperBetter’s concept is that it treats all these problems like a game: there are Quests, PowerUps, Bad Guys, Allies, and scores. You can create your own quests, or choose from several pre-loaded experiences referred to as PowerPacks. SuperBetter boasts an impressive resume, as it was designed by Jane McGonigal, a world renowned game designer, and it’s recommended by therapists, is used by university professors and HR professionals, and is validated by a pair of clinical studies.
