The Business of Gaming, Focus to Win, Is the Great Resignation turning into the Great Regret?

Welcome to the 22nd issue of the newsletter, “Journal of discoveries.” Each week, I check a list of hundreds of sources of inspiration to spot exciting articles, videos, podcasts, and books on personal development, leadership, management, technology, and innovation.

If you just subscribed to this newsletter, I encourage you to take the time to send me a few lines and introduce yourself; I would love to understand who is finding this newsletter useful and why.

Thanks to a suggestion from a reader, I changed the layout a bit, opting for a bullet point list instead of plain text. If you have a moment, let me know what you think.

And here is the selection of what grabbed my attention this week.
