I would have to rate Tom Chatfield’s 7 ways games reward the brain at a 4/5

I think the speech could have been better by going into more details. Like discussing where to apply these methods of gaming in life. Otherwise it was very good.

Both of these speakers have the same idea about bettering people through new methods, different ways on how to do this. If its in education or business, it will better people as a whole.
