Southard's book is based on a straightforward thesis: the tenants of Zen spirituality and development of a clear mind and body can help you maximize your potential as a gamer. On the surface, this seems like a self-evident premise: a clear mind and body will hone the skills and be essential to realizing potential in every aspect of life. That it is introduced into the environment of gaming is what makes it not just a guide, but a pioneering ideal.
I, personally, have been a gamer since the early 80s. The culture of gaming has been a frontier that has grown rather than been conquered over time. From its inception there was a small niche of popularity but as technology has allowed its demographics to expand and appeal to peak, the landscape has become wilderness in the literal sense - it is not always incorrectly perceived and often celebrated as a wild den of uncontrolled language, violence, exploitation, even to the point of bullying and exclusion in some rare and vicious examples of online and competitive gaming.
The important step that the culture of gaming has to make in order to merge with world culture, and truly earn the respect it deserves, lies very much in parallel with the tenants Southard lays out as a personal philosophy, that starts with you, and pragmatic, time-tested exercises that you can begin practicing immediately not just to develop a flexible and powerful skill set, but to become a force of change in the industry and culture itself by the disciplined lack of resistance to the negative forces that gaming has become infamous for.
