Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.60,0:00:04.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm a gamer, so I like to have goals.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.63,0:00:09.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like special missions and secret objectives.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.16,0:00:12.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here's my special mission for this talk:

Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.26,0:00:17.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of every single person in this room
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.60,0:00:19.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by seven and a half minutes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.85,0:00:23.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Literally, you will live seven and half minutes longer
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.13,0:00:24.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than you would have otherwise,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.41,0:00:26.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just because you watched this talk.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.07,0:00:29.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, some of you are looking a little bit skeptical.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.53,0:00:31.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's okay, because check it out --
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.19,0:00:33.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have math to prove that it is possible.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.70,0:00:35.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it won't make a lot of sense now.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.58,0:00:37.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll explain it all later,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.02,0:00:38.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just pay attention to the number at the bottom:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.98,0:00:42.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,plus-7.68245837 minutes
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.24,0:00:46.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that will be my gift to you if I'm successful in my mission.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.20,0:00:48.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, you have a secret mission too.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.93,0:00:52.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your mission is to figure out how you want to spend your
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.93,0:00:54.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,extra seven and a half minutes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.100,0:00:57.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I think you should do something unusual with them,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.34,0:01:00.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because these are bonus minutes. You weren't going to have them anyway.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.32,0:01:04.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, because I'm a game designer, you might be thinking to yourself,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.70,0:01:06.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know what she wants us to do with those minutes,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.100,0:01:09.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she wants us to spend them playing games.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.52,0:01:12.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now this is a totally reasonable assumption,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.22,0:01:14.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,given that I have made quite a habit of encouraging people
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.84,0:01:16.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to spend more time playing games.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.65,0:01:18.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, in my first TEDTalk,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.48,0:01:23.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I did propose that we should spend 21 billion hours a week
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.03,0:01:25.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a planet playing video games.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.25,0:01:28.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, 21 billion hours, it's a lot of time.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.15,0:01:32.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's so much time, in fact, that the number one unsolicited comment
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.97,0:01:35.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I have heard from people all over the world
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.27,0:01:37.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since I gave that talk, is this:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.15,0:01:41.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Jane, games are great and all, but on your deathbed,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.26,0:01:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are you really going to wish you spent more time playing Angry Birds?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.00,0:01:49.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This idea is so pervasive -- that games are a waste of time
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.61,0:01:53.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we will come to regret -- that I hear it literally everywhere I go.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.17,0:01:55.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, true story: Just a few weeks ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.99,0:01:59.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this cab driver, upon finding out that a friend and I were in town
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.88,0:02:01.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for a game developer's conference,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.53,0:02:03.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,turned around and said -- and I quote --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.80,0:02:09.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I hate games. Waste of life. Imagine getting to the end of your life
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.54,0:02:12.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and regretting all that time."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.10,0:02:15.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I want to take this problem seriously.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.19,0:02:17.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, I want games to be a force for good in the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.61,0:02:20.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't want gamers to regret the time they spent playing,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.53,0:02:22.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,time that I encouraged them to spend.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.58,0:02:25.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I have been thinking about this question a lot lately.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.71,0:02:29.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we're on our deathbeds, will we regret
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.23,0:02:31.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the time we spent playing games?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.18,0:02:34.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, this may surprise you, but it turns out
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.15,0:02:37.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is actually some scientific research on this question.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.77,0:02:39.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's true. Hospice workers,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.96,0:02:42.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the people who take care of us at the end of our lives,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.81,0:02:47.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recently issued a report on the most frequently expressed regrets
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.68,0:02:51.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that people say when they are literally on their deathbeds.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.71,0:02:53.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's what I want to share with you today --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.96,0:02:58.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the top five regrets of the dying.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.81,0:03:05.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Number one: I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.80,0:03:11.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Number two: I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.75,0:03:17.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Number three: I wish I had let myself be happier.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.60,0:03:24.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Number four: I wish I'd had the courage to express my true self.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.01,0:03:27.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And number five: I wish I'd lived a life true to my dreams,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.41,0:03:32.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instead of what others expected of me.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.14,0:03:35.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, as far as I know, no one ever told one of the hospice workers,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.33,0:03:38.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wish I'd spent more time playing video games,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.12,0:03:41.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but when I hear these top five regrets of the dying,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.31,0:03:44.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can't help but hear five deep human cravings
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.13,0:03:46.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that games actually help us fulfill.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.15,0:03:48.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.84,0:03:51.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For many people, this means, I wish I'd spent more time
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.14,0:03:53.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with my family, with my kids when they were growing up.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.85,0:03:57.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, we know that playing games together has tremendous
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.10,0:03:58.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,family benefits.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.46,0:04:00.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A recent study from Brigham Young University
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.77,0:04:03.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,School of Family life reported that parents who

Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.82,0:04:10.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have much stronger real-life relationships with them.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.90,0:04:12.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wish I'd stayed in touch with my friends.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.82,0:04:14.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, hundreds of millions of people
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.81,0:04:18.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,use social games like FarmVille or Words With Friends
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.06,0:04:21.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to stay in daily contact with real-life friends and family.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.17,0:04:25.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A recent study from [University of Michigan] showed

Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.30,0:04:41.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wish I'd let myself be happier.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.67,0:04:44.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, here I can't help but think of the groundbreaking clinical trials
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.84,0:04:47.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recently conducted at East Carolina University
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.69,0:04:50.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that showed that online games can outperform

Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.34,0:04:57.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just 30 minutes of online game play a day
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.87,0:05:00.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was enough to create dramatic boosts in mood
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.77,0:05:03.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and long-term increases in happiness.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.73,0:05:07.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wish I'd had the courage to express my true self.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.94,0:05:11.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, avatars are a way to express our true selves,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.86,0:05:14.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our most heroic, idealized version of who we might become.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.89,0:05:18.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can see that in this alter ego portrait by Robbie Cooper

Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.99,0:05:24.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Stanford University has been doing research for five years now
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.85,0:05:28.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to document how playing a game with an idealized avatar
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.54,0:05:31.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,changes how we think and act in real life,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.29,0:05:34.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making us more courageous, more ambitious,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.59,0:05:38.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more committed to our goals.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.54,0:05:40.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wish I'd led a life true to my dreams,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.40,0:05:44.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are games doing this yet? I'm not sure,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.13,0:05:46.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I've left a question mark, a Super Mario question mark.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.75,0:05:48.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we're going to come back to this one.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.79,0:05:52.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the mean time, perhaps you're wondering,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.28,0:06:00.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's true, I've never worked in a hospice,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.67,0:06:03.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've never been on my deathbed.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.17,0:06:09.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But recently I did spend three months in bed, wanting to die.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.90,0:06:13.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now let me tell you that story.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.69,0:06:17.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It started two years ago, when I hit my head and got a concussion.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.35,0:06:19.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now the concussion didn't heal properly,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.42,0:06:23.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and after 30 days I was left with symptoms like nonstop headaches,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.08,0:06:29.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My doctor told me that in order to heal my brain,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.07,0:06:30.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had to rest it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.44,0:06:32.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I had to avoid everything that triggered my symptoms.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.69,0:06:35.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For me that meant no reading, no writing, no video games,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.67,0:06:38.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no work or email, no running, no alcohol, no caffeine.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.41,0:06:40.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In other words -- and I think you see where this is going --
Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.86,0:06:43.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no reason to live.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.28,0:06:45.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course it's meant to be funny,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.23,0:06:49.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in all seriousness, suicidal ideation is quite common

Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.24,0:06:54.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It happens to one in three, and it happened to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.70,0:06:59.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My brain started telling me, Jane, you want to die.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.75,0:07:02.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It said, you're never going to get better.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.76,0:07:06.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It said, the pain will never end.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:06.60,0:07:10.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And these voices became so persistent and so persuasive
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.93,0:07:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I started to legitimately fear for my life,
