As I continue to hear from people who are re-friending their minds by playing the games in my book, my own insights continue to expand.
This time last year, a well-known editor I was interviewing to work on the book with me asked, “So who are your buyers, your readers?” I told him that, among others, I envisioned the book being read by bikers and prisoners. He laughed and said, “Well, you can forget about ever selling any books then, because prisoners can’t afford them and bikers will just steal them.”
Maybe he’s right.
I wrote the book of games, initially, as a guide to my own mind’s ease and peace. Then, I decided to publish the games to share their power with others who also felt caught and sought escape. These games do help people who feel they are imprisoned by circumstances beyond their control. And for those who wish they could just climb on their imaginary Harleys and get the heck out of Dodge, the games dissolve the illusion that we must go somewhere else to reconnect with our own hearts.
In addition, then, to the games serving soldiers who must act as they are told and prisoners who are restrained from acting as they wish, these games are even more powerful for those people who are free to act at will, but whose troubling thoughts keep them from acting on their desires and in their own best interest.
