I really enjoyed this book. All about learning situational awareness, understanding your limitations, and listening... And a bit of Poker too

This was the November pick for book club at my local library. I enjoyed this quite a bit. For the most part, Konnikova made the poker parts easy enough to follow along- made me want to play a bit, lol. I enjoyed her application of poker to real life, although I wish there had been a little more of that. I did enjoy reading her writing, and I’ve definitely added her other books, especially the Sherlock Holmes one, to my ever-growing TBR list.

Interesting non-fiction read about the psychology of Texas Hold-Em poker and how it translates to our everyday lives. I first heard about this book through an interview with the author on the Freakonomics podcast and I am glad that I read this book.
