Whole New Mind...Play

The best statistic from this chapter was the following...

Even doctors can benefit from playing Game Cube.
One study found that physicians " who spend at least
3 hours a week playing video games made about 37
percent fewer mistakes in ... surgery and performed
the task... faster than [other doctors] who did not play"

I've been yelling at my son to get off the game station
and get back to studying for the last two years, without
much success. Then I read this statistic and I thought...
maybe it's not so bad after all. 

Overall I think when you "play" at anything, you are 
letting off steam, unwinding, and enjoying a quick
"time-out" for yourself. I think it's an important part
of a sane and balanced life.
