The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win
by Maria Konnikova
Rounding up from 4.5 stars.
This book was such a delightful surprise. I never expected to love—or even read—a book about poker, but several readers with great taste told me to prioritize this one, and I'm glad I listened. In this story-driven narrative, author and New Yorker journalist Konnikova tells how and why she dedicated several years of her life to becoming a professional poker player, and seamlessly connects what she learns at the table to making better decisions and living a more satisfying life.
Endlessly fascinating and laugh-out-loud funny: I kept reading parts of the story out loud to my family because I wanted them to enjoy the surprising and funny bits as well.
