The authors introduce a new sequence of real numbers which converges to the Euler-Mascheroni constant \(\gamma\), and determine a point where the given approximation is very fast. The results are then used to the improvement of certain known estimates on harmonic numbers. Reviewer's remark: The authors seem not aware of a paper by the reviewer [C. R. Acad. Bulg. Sci. 41, No. 2, 19--21 (1988; Zbl 0667.34025)] where it is proved that, for any \(k\geq 3\), the integer part of \(H_m\) is \(k\), where \(m\) denotes the integer part of \(\exp(k-\gamma)+{1\over 2}\).
