Earlier this year, I got the opportunity to read an early release of The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win by Maria Konnikova, published by Penguin Press. Konnikova’s work includes Mastermind and The Confidence Game. She is also a contributing writer for The New Yorker and many other publications with plentiful awards having been given to her including the 2019 Excellence in Science Journalism Award from the Society of Personality and Social Psychology.
This book was long anticipated by myself and probably quite a few more people in the poker world who were there to witness Konnikova’s journey in real life.
