Jane McGonigal, Director of Games Research & Development at the Institute for the Future, Game evangelist and Alternate Reality Game Pioneer is speaking in London about the topic of “Productivity”.
On Sunday mornings The School of Life hosts secular sermons in which cultural figures are invited to give their opinion about ‘what values we should live by today’. These theatrical events are usually held at Conway Hall in London. Past preachers have included Tom Hodgkinson on Loving Your Neighbour, Geoff Dyer on Punctuality, Sam Roddick on Seduction and Alain de Botton on Pessimism. The Financial Times described the sermons as being ‘hedged about with all sorts of ironic paraphernalia, designed to reassure the trendy young audience that they are not about to be harangued by a religious zealot’.
