Do you remember the day you began to play the game of life? For immersed in a game, we lose track of time, we lose track of our surroundings, we forget many external concerns.

We forget that it is all contrived, all a show – part fun, and part competition, with some real stakes, and many trivial stakes. The best players get highly absorbed, fully in the zone, fully focused. Similarly, the greatest players also get highly absorbed, ...
