Book Reviews of Finite and Infinite Games
Book Review: good bits and boring bits
Summary: 3 Stars
some interesting ideas, but lots of loosely sewn arguments and/or flawed logic, also there's more words in this book than there's ideas. Worth reading but you'll find you tend to skip pages.
Summary of Finite and Infinite Games
An extraordinary book that will dramatically change the way you experience life.Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life, the games we play in business and politics, in the bedroom and on the battlefied -- games with winners and losers, a beginning and an end. Infinite games are more mysterious -- and ultimately more rewarding. They are unscripted and unpredictable; they are the source of true freedom.
In this elegant and compelling work, James Carse explores what these games mean, and what they can mean to you. He offers stunning new insights into the nature of property and power, of culture and community, of sexuality and self-discovery, opening the door to a world of infinite delight and possibility.
"An extraordinary little book . . . a wise and intimate companion, an elegant reminder of the real."
