Estive quase para dar a este livro 3,5.
Tive o azar de me faltar 9 páginas (Salta da página 104 para a 113) e fiquei sem perceber uma parte do texto.

Cassia Cassitas presents here an intriguing “game,” to which there are written rules and yet their implementation is up to the player. Given the setting of a fictional Sunday dinner, the player is presented numerous circumstances about which they are asked a series of questions. The questions are divided into three categories, depending upon whether the reader wishes to answer as a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player. Beginner questions revolve around the people at the dinner party while intermediary questions center on facts and advanced questions provoke the exploration of more existential ideas.
The most fascinating aspect of these questions lies in the answers given at the back of the book. They essentially serve to illustrate how each line of questioning results in a different philosophical outlook on life and, therefore, a different type of behavior. For instance, at one point during the game, the advanced player is asked if they would like any salt (after having been asked if they have any to begin with). In the answers to the advanced questions, they are then told that they do want salt, because they want the structure of history so that they may introduce more flavors to their life.
There is no doubt some interpreting to be done here, but that is a large part of what makes this game particularly compelling. The player is involved not only in choosing the questions, but in choosing the meaning of the answers as well. In that way, Cassitas has crafted a game with no losers. While it is possible to achieve points, she explains that the scoring system is somewhat irrelevant. What matters is that the player learns something about themselves and is honest in their self-discovery. This is the definition of victory in one of the most interesting games ever created.

This is one of the most unique books I've read. It combines philosophy, gamification and self-help in a highly accessible format.
The nature of "Sunday the Game" may not be clear from the blurb; I purchased it on the strength of another book by the same author. Don't let this put you off, because the book is powerful and rewarding. Its purpose is to improve the reader's life organically, by encouraging him or her to view Sundays as a kind of abstract, spiritual progression or game. This is encapsulated by a spiral diagram, along which personal values are located. Progress within each stage can be measured according to a score system, which awards points for things like self-awareness and perseverance. However, the game is quite informal, in the sense that the scoring system and many other aspects can be altered to suit the reader. What Cassia Cassitas provides, therefore, is a framework in which self-improvement can be gamified. This makes changes to one's life quantifiable and fun, hence easy to accomplish.
I caution the reader that he or she should probably read through the whole book before attempting the game, because many important details are located in the final chapters.

In the words of the author, "Sunday the Game" is an invitation to an adventure. That seems the best possible description of such an original, hard-to-place book.
The author comments that in our globalised, mechanical world, people are prone to fall into automatic lifestyle patterns, without considering alternatives or thinking through the consequences. The object of "Sunday the Game", therefore, is to create an opportunity for the reader to explore a less individualistic, competitive approach to life. Since Sunday is the traditional day of repose and reflection, all of the experimentation takes place on Sundays. Of course, the ultimate objective is for these changes slowly to filter into every other day of the reader's week.
The author describes her game at length in five parts, starting with "The Player, The Strategy and The Result". However, the book is not akin to a board game manual. The rules that Cassia Cassitas describes are fluid, and each chapter contains exposition of her unique philosophy.
"Sunday the game" is worth your time. Be warned, though, that effort is needed in order to understand and put into practice the author's advice.

I'd like to start by saying- this book is an easy 5 stars for me because I am a gamer. I love any type of RPG. While the book isn't a RPG it is written from that perspective. The reader is the 'player' the person who changes or directs the book and the play. Very much like sitting at a D&D table and creating a game from the scenarios and situations that you find yourself in. Imagining a reality based on the perceptions, reactions, and behaviors of others.
This book, obviously, takes it further since the game is simply a means to show us who we are. Where our place in the world is and definitely to illustrate how easy it is to change our path. Sometimes when we look at the world and our own lives like the book shows us we can be objective and see changes for ourselves.
This is a great book that forces us to look at ourselves, to make some choices, and to own our place in the world. We are further challenged to change our place if we are not happy with it. I love how the book shows us clear paths and rises above the level of your average self help book by actively involving the reader in the game.

Sunday The Game is about inner reflection and how improve your life by partaking of weekly analysis of your current, past, and future situations and the effect of the close family.
‘The Game’ is to be played on a Sunday, the day of the week for relaxation from the working week, when the family traditionally meet for dinner.
Although some of the information was relevent, I felt that the idea of the family meeting once a week was unfortunately outdated for life in the 21st century.
However, it is a great idea to set aside time to reflect on personal achievements and failings and to reassess aims and goals.
Overall, I found this book difficult and awkward to read due to the translation issues. The prose wasn’t free flowing and this involved a lot of concentration to understand where the author was going. This in turn led to a disjointed book which needed too much effort to enjoy properly.

This is definitely a book to be taken slowly, masticated, and digested.
The game is life, Sunday those periods of rest that we have, and dinner those times when we interact with others, learning, growing and receiving nourishment to continue to play the game. Winning the game, nothing less than the realization of your dreams.
Ms Cassitas has written an instruction manual for playing the game. Written in the form of instruction followed by meditative 'Sunday' writings, it is a way to begin to actually take control of your game. What position are you going to give to the people in your life, where will you place them on your board? How will you choose to react to the situations that your game finds you in.
This is a new look at living life and learning to be successful at it. If you are the central character, the main player, then truly, you are the one who decides the outcome of your Game!

When was the last time you woke up and just analyzed your life? When did you take a good hard look at yourself, and those around you? Cassitas has created a book that asks those same questions, and gives a great example of how you could find the answers. Through a game and a mostly first person perspective, you break down the details of your life, and get insight on a philosophy of playing life's 'game' to win. You can take on three levels of challenge: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
It should be noted that you are encouraged to do all three, as it isn't harmful to learn the most you can about yourself while aiming for your goals. From sunrise to sunset, we live. We all take life one day at a time, and this book could give you a better way to look at one day, and live a better day everyday.

As the author puts it, Sunday the Game is an invitation to an adventure, to a game that can be played every Sunday dinner. Interesting idea, as in these times of social media the old-fashioned idea of preparing food, getting together with family and friends, sitting together and participating in an interactive social gathering where questions are discussed and ideas put forward needs some sort of structuring as it's rarely going to happen otherwise. The author gives guidance and suggestions as to how you, the reader, the strategist, can instigate this sort of event and play the game, She discusses the whole menu and food in a meaningful, delightful way - I loved the dessert section! - and then rounds the whole off with suggested answers at different levels.
A really interesting read with great ideas to offer.

I had to read this book twice to actually understand it. It was bizarre at first. I felt like someone was trying to talk to me instead of just me reading a book. For me it is the first time visiting a book with this type of writing style. At times, I felt it similar to a Dungeon and dragons board game from the eighties. At first, I thought who the main characters were, but after a while it was completely obvious. The reader was the main character! Like the Dungeons and dragons game, the book will be the Game master. It will ask you questions, give you choices, then you will have the ultimate say in the answer. The most reward part of the book is the answers which are given at the end of the book. Very fascinating. If you ever want to try something new, from a different perspective, this book is a must.

We humans tend to take our lives way too seriously. We get caught up in work, relationships, strategies – even our times for relaxing tend to be more escapism than rejuvenation. “Sunday the Game” takes us out of our all-too-serious world of illusion to see our lives for what they really are – a game that we play all the time. Our actions are just moves in a game, and if we can distance ourselves from them enough we can see how they set the playing board for the next move. In a sense, we create our realities through the things we choose, the people we let into our lives, even through the thoughts we entertain in our minds. “Sunday the Game” shows us this game so that we can take control of it, in a fun way that is completely unlike the traditional format of the self-help book.

This was my first book that has a role-playing theme to it, and I found it both original and a little exciting. OK, it's not role-play in the sense of games like Dungeons and Dragons, but it is written very much from this point of view.
In this book you can direct the story, but you really have to try the book to appreciate how well the author Cassitas manages this.
Underneath all of this, there is a message from the author, namely how we can all change our destinies or the road we currently follow. We do not need to stick to the current way we live our lives, and should try something else.
It's certainly a very interesting book if not your usual in-depth novel.

Sunday the Game is a very interesting read. Cassitas has an intriguing point of view that will have you deeply probing into your own life. I, personally, really like this kind of book, I enjoy books that can help me self-improve, and Sunday the Game is a great one. The book is well-written and edited, and it is always good when books have good editing. Worth its cost in the value it will bring to your life!

Since my childhood I love the kind of books which you are the main character and can effect the story. I liked Sunday The Game mainly for two reasons: First, it took me back to my childhood and second, it points out to the importance of taking control of your life in a fun way.
Depending on why you're reading this book and what you're hoping to get from it, it can just be a light read or it can make you think deeply with every 'decision' you make.

Great read! This book will have you really taking a look at your life and doing some personal soul-searching. It really makes you think, if you know what I mean. You don't often run across these types of books that are truly eye-opening, and Sunday the Game is a good one. Inexpensive as well, that is always a plus.

Well thought out – a game as much as a book:
Astute and cleverly put together, this is as much a game book than a novel. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, the author plies you with the appropriate about of detail to engage the mind.
If you are looking for something different and new, this one is for you.

Este livro foi uma oferta da autora em troca de uma opinião sincera.
Através de uma viagem pela vida com uma jogo, a autora conduz-nos a uma reflexão e consciencialização dos nossos sentimentos, emoções e evolução enquanto meros seres humanos.
Se num jogo cada jogador cumpre uma função e o seu desempenho é controlado pelas regras do jogo, também na vida devemos compreender a nossa equipa e as regras que regem o nosso papel na sociedade.
Sem dúvida, um livro para ler e reler pois, de certo que à medida que vamos evoluindo e aprendendo a lidar com as mais variadas situações, a reflexão que faremos sobre este livro também vai evoluir e ter um novo significado.
