Longtime mentor Bing Gordon wrote a book with his daughter Chloe. I cannot wait to read it.

Bing's ability to bring entirely unique ways of thinking about common product situations is mind boggling. His mental models are so unique and helpful they stick with you for years.

Friends, I’m excited to announce that my new book, Everybody Wins, will be out this October with Penguin Random House, and is now available for preorder!

What makes great video games so satisfying, engaging, and retentive? Some twenty years ago, when EA Sports and The Sims were at the peak of their powers, I wondered if I could recreate the magic of video games in other kinds of consumer products, and other walks of life entirely. What I came back with was my “Gamification Checklist,” which broke down the elements of great games and franchises, and began to imagine how I could export it.

I’ve taken what I know from decades in the games business to help build newer companies and products like Amazon Prime, Zynga, Duolingo, Spotify, Twitch, Coursera, Pokémon Go, Take Two, Cameo, Thrive Global, My Fitness Pal, and Alan Health. Now, daughter Chloe and I have written a book to share my “Gamification Checklist” with, well, everyone.

I wrote Everybody Wins to share my stories and lessons from more than four decades in the biggest entertainment industry in the world. If you’re building a product, a company, a game, or classroom curriculum, if you’re a fan of gaming, a founder or a leader, or even a parent trying to understand Roblox better, my hope is that this book offers a new lens on what it means to succeed and why, in the best systems, everybody wins.

@j_smedley Personal take = @elonmusk not caring what other people think is in part what makes him an incredible inventor.

[mike frazzini @michfraz]

@j_smedley First four albums were much better, black album is acceptable, but then nothing later allowed.

https://t.co/TyG1nC9A2D one of the many reasons I love working for Amazon. I like that they're paying an extra $2 an hour over the $15 an hour they already pay. It's an awesome company to work for.
