Leveling up in Real Life(IRL): The Introduction

Saison 3 · Épisode 2

mardi 12 mars 2024 • Durée 21:57

This episode of The Dungeons, Dragons, & Psychology Podcast explores the concept of "leveling up" in real life and how it can benefit you. Host Robert Walker dives into the psychology behind leveling up in games like D&D, explaining how a growth mindset, tiered reward systems, and the illusion of progress can all motivate us to achieve our goals.

The episode acknowledges that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to leveling up in real life. It offers a sneak peak of developing a personalized plan that includes self-reflection, setting achievable goals, choosing a reward system, tracking progress, and celebrating small victories.

Looking ahead, the episode teases upcoming episodes where each D&D class will be explored as a metaphor for real-life skill development. Listeners are encouraged to grab a journal and calendar to prepare for this upcoming adventure in self-improvement.
