Aidan's Infinite Play
Aidan Helfant is a gamification and meta-learning expert best known for his course Self-Learning Quest, which helps video gamers make self-learning outside work and school effective and fun by combining gamification with science based meta-learning techniques. In his podcast, he deconstructs the lives of inspiring creatives, thinkers, and entrepreneurs, to learn how we can level up our creativity, learning, productivity, and wellbeing in the ultimate video game of life.
Why Infinite Play? Because his favorite way to play life is to treat it like an infinite game. Every day is part of a greater whole, a level in your infinite game. You can't help but play with kindness, gratitude, and fun when you think you'll be playing for a long time.
