Video games often get kind of a short shrift when it comes to how valuable they are considered, versus a being a waste of time. Yet an argument can be made that they teach and reinforce valuable skills that psychologists have found to be important for success in work and life in general.

They can drive learning and creative thinking.These are the kinds of topics I will discuss with this week's guest expert, Jonathan D.
