El Gran Farol by Maria Konnikova
How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win
A personal and analytical memoir that follows a journalist-psychologist who trains with top poker players to learn the game's strategies and use it as a laboratory for studying decision-making under uncertainty; through disciplined study, mentorship, and high-stakes tournament play she discovers how to separate skill from luck, master emotional control, and apply probabilistic thinking and resilience to broader life choices, blending practical lessons on risk and strategy with reflections on personal growth.
