The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win by Maria Konnikova
4.0
Recommended by Nate Silver on a podcast, I thought I was getting into a book about Poker. This book is way better than a poker book and instead covers the process of learning something new and mastering the mental side when competing.
Sometimes the science-y stuff was tedious but when Konnikova was talking about her travels, mental game, tournaments, and personal beliefs about poker, the book was fascinating.
A lot of the critiques are about her writing style + the psychology that Konnikova spoke about, but as a person that followed poker casually for a long time and relates to her journey, I didn't really mind those parts.
