Claude Needham's The Any Game Cookbook presents a collection of "recipes" designed to transform ordinary games into spiritual experiences.

The book offers numerous exercises and activities, presented in a sequence but not requiring strict adherence, intended to enhance self-awareness and perspective during gameplay. Each "recipe" involves specific actions or mental exercises to be performed during a game, such as focusing on intention, examining goals, or altering one's perception of time and space. The book encourages experimentation and self-discovery, emphasizing that the value lies in personal experience rather than adherence to prescribed outcomes.

It also includes discussions on subvocalization and the concept of "x-factors" that contribute to the spiritual dimension of gameplay.
