Abstract	Meeting the psychological, social, and economic challenges of career transitions requires people to be increasingly flexible and hardy. In this article, we propose that envisioning one's life as a game can foster well-being, coping strategies, and success with career transitions. The SuperBetter approach (McGonigal, 2015. "Superbetter: A revolutionary approach to getting stronger, happier, braver and more resilient." Penguin) is presented as a metaphor that can provide clients with a new perspective for their lives and career narratives. The way each component of this metaphor can contribute to individuals' well-being, motivation and success throughout career transitions is detailed. Implications for practice and research are discussed. (As Provided).
