About the book
James Carse presents a profound philosophical distinction between games with defined rules and a determined end (finite) and those with no objective end, whose only goal is to keep playing (infinite). This metaphor permeates all of existence: business, relationships, war, education. By recognizing which game we are playing, we can transform our priorities and our understanding of success.
This concise, almost aphoristic essay offers a fundamental reorientation on purpose, freedom, and the meaning of living.
