This is a book about getting to the truth.
At the poker table you need certain skills to win. The more Alex O’Brien played competitively, the more she realised those skills are essential in everyday life too. From reading body language to calculating risk, dealing with uncertainty and separating emotion from facts, her toolkit will help you make better decisions and understand what’s happening around you.
Offering insights from the latest psychology, neuroscience, game theory and more, you’ll encounter new ideas and ways of thinking from pioneering researchers and experts in their field. With O’Brien as your guide, you’ll learn to see clearly, think carefully and cut through the noise of a complex world.
