Büyük Blöf
Deneyimlerimiz her seyin önüne gecer ancak cogunlukla bu deneyimler inanilmaz derecede carpitilmistir Bize ögretirler ama iyi ögretmezler. Psikoloji alanindaki akademik calismalari ve özel hayatinda deneyimledigi bir dizi talihsizlik sonucunda Maria Konnikova, yasamimizda neyi kontrol edip neyi edemeyecegimiz sorusunun cevabini aramaya baslamis, sans faktörünün ne denli önemli bir rolü oldugunu arastirirken de pokerle tanismistir. Isin ilginci Konnikova daha önce hic poker oynamamistir, hatta oyunun kurallarini bile bilmemektedir. Tüm bunlara ragmen bu alanda önemli basarilara imza atarak yasayan bir poker efsanesine dönüsmüs bir ismi, Erik Seideli akil hocasi olmaya ikna eder. Ikili son derece rekabetci bir dünyada ertesi yilin Dünya Poker Serisine hazirlanmaya baslar. Seidelin rehberliginde kazanmaya baslayan Konnikova bu sürecte karsilastigi disli rakiplerini birer birer yenmekle kalmaz, kendisi hakkinda da pek cok sey ögrenir. Artik okuyup anlamaya calistigi sadece rakiplerinin yüz ifadesi degildir, kendisini de tanima ve anlama vakti gelmistir.

Il grande bluff. Abilità. Fortuna. Controllo. Giocare a poker per capire il gioco della vita
Qual è il nostro reale controllo sul mondo che ci circonda, sulle scelte che compiamo e - in definitiva - sul nostro destino? Qual è il confine tra merito e fortuna? Quando conviene perseverare in una scelta, e quando invece rinunciare? Queste sono le domande che Maria Konnikova, psicologa e scrittrice, si pone in un momento difficile della sua vita. Le risposte le trova nel gioco del poker, dove caso e controllo si equilibrano, e dove è possibile mettere in pratica i processi decisionali, la gestione delle emozioni, la concentrazione, la capacità di comprendere sé stessi e gli altri. In tre anni, con l'aiuto del campione Erik Seidel, Maria Konnikova passa - attraverso fortune alterne - dall'essere una dilettante assoluta ai tornei online, fino a partecipare al campionato del mondo. Una storia eccitante e fuori dagli schemi, inserita in un racconto di formazione in cui lei stessa è il personaggio. Iniziato come un'indagine sulla possibilità di affrontare la fortuna - o la sfortuna - mantenendo il controllo, nonostante l'alternarsi delle carte, l'esperimento si trasforma in un nuovo approccio alla vita e, dentro e fuori dal gioco, una superficiale sicurezza rischia di rivelarsi il più grande dei bluff.

Anatomy of a Breakthrough
Unstuck is a landmark new smart-thinking title that will help anyone optimise their mind to overcome the obstacles holding them back. It does for self-development what Atomic Habits did for with behavioural hacking and Thinking Fast and Slow did for understanding ourselves. Everyone, at some time, will go through episodes of simply being stuck; whether it's in our careers or relationships, our personal, professional or artistic lives. We call this things like 'being stuck in a rut', 'having writer's block' or 'being frozen in place'. This is not just harmful in the short-term, but is often chronic, dangerous to our mental health and well-being, and with severe consequences to our success and development. Unstuck is the remedy to identifying and overcooking the 'friction points' holding us back. Adam Alter offers an brilliantly applicable new framework for not only getting 'unstuck' but also going on to thrive. Critically, he introduces us to the Friction Audit: a test to work out where our sticking points lie, categorises them as existing in our Head, Heart or Habits. Unstuck then takes us through a 5-step process to strive for more and to thrive. Unstuck is the key for overcoming friction points and reaching our full potential.

El gran farol : cómo aprendí a prestar atención, dominarme y ganar
Una apasionante historia que nos descubre lo que el póquer puede enseñarnos sobre el comportamiento humano y la gestión de la incertidumbre en nuestras vidas. En 2016, la escritora y experta en psicología Maria Konnikova se empezó a interesar por el papel que desempeña la suerte en nuestras vidas y hasta qué punto se puede controlar todo lo que nos ocurre. Para averiguarlo, decidió sumergirse desde cero en el universo del póquer y ver si las dinámicas de este juego resultaban útiles en nuestro día a día. No podía sospechar que en muy pocos meses pasaría de no saber cuántas cartas tiene una baraja a convertirse en campeona internacional de póquer y ganar más de trescientos mil dólares en un terreno ferozmente competitivo y mayoritariamente masculino. Mientras acompañamos a la autora por los entresijos del juego hasta la cima, descubrimos todo lo que el póquer es capaz de desvelarnos sobre el comportamiento humano, la toma de decisiones, la gestión de la frustración o el papel del azar en nuestra vida. Entre la aventura épica y la mejor literatura de divulgación, Konnikova nos abre la puerta a un mundo fascinante y nos invita a conocernos más y a jugar nuestras cartas de la mejor manera posible. Una narración brillante que se ha convertido en una de las sorpresas literarias de Estados Unidos. 'Un ejemplo brillante de divulgación psicológica, un manual práctico y elegante para descubrir la filosofía del póquer.' Jordi Amat (Babelia) 'Como las grandes historias, no va sobre el póquer, sino sobre la vida.' Bruno Pardo (ABC) 'La autora establece un paralelismo entre el póker y el comportamiento humano. La flexibilidad, la admisión del error o la incertidumbre ante cualquier decisión son algunas de las claves para triunfar en el juego, actitudes que llevadas al terreno de la existencia resultan muy sugerentes.' Reyes Cáceres Molinero (Aceprensa) 'Me ha encantado este libro. No hace falta que te guste el póker. La autora explica muy bien su elección para hablar, a través de él, de la vida: una mezcla de azar y voluntad, de suerte y habilidad.' Antonio G. Maldonado'Unas memorias apasionantes (?) ¡Una lectura obligada!' Mary Karr 'Como alguien que ha leído casi toda la literatura sobre póquer, puedo decir que "El gran farol" es la mejor obra que se ha escrito hasta ahora sobre el juego que tanto admiro y las inestimables habilidades de pensamiento que este enseña (?) Una inspiradora historia de autosuperación.' Liv Boeree (Nature) 'Puede que uno de los mayores faroles de "El gran farol" sea que Konnikova no ha escrito exactamente un libro sobre su éxito con las cartas y las fichas, sino que ha apostado por sintetizar grandes ideas filosóficas y conocimientos sobre psicología en un momento en el que nosotros también cuestionamos nuestra suerte y buscamos manejar nuestro destino.' New York Times Book Review 'La aventura de cómo Konnikova quiso hacer un reportaje sobre jugadores de póquer y acabó convirtiéndose ella misma en parte de él te cautivará, primero al conocer sus extraordinarias ganancias y, luego, al conocer las lecciones que aprendió tanto sobre la naturaleza humana como sobre ella misma.' The Washington Post 'A medio camino entre las memorias, el manual de psicología sobre la toma de decisiones y la guía de instrucciones para la vida.' Maria Popova (Brain Pickings)

The Biggest Bluff
The New York Times bestseller! A New York Times Notable Book"The tale of how Konnikova followed a story about poker players and wound up becoming a story herself will have you riveted, first as you learn about her big winnings, and then as she conveys the lessons she learned both about human nature and herself." -The Washington PostIt's true that Maria Konnikova had never actually played poker before and didn't even know the rules when she approached Erik Seidel, Poker Hall of Fame inductee and winner of tens of millions of dollars in earnings, and convinced him to be her mentor. But she knew her man: a famously thoughtful and broad-minded player, he was intrigued by her pitch that she wasn't interested in making money so much as learning about life. She had faced a stretch of personal bad luck, and her reflections on the role of chance had led her to a giant of game theory, who pointed her to poker as the ultimate master class in learning to distinguish between what can be controlled and what can't. And she certainly brought something to the table, including a Ph.D. in psychology and an acclaimed and growing body of work on human behavior and how to hack it. So Seidel was in, and soon she was down the rabbit hole with him, into the wild, fiercely competitive, overwhelmingly masculine world of high-stakes Texas Hold'em, their initial end point the following year's World Series of Poker.But then something extraordinary happened. Under Seidel's guidance, Konnikova did have many epiphanies about life that derived from her new pursuit, including how to better read, not just her opponents but far more importantly herself; how to identify what tilted her into an emotional state that got in the way of good decisions; and how to get to a place where she could accept luck for what it was, and what it wasn't. But she also began to win. And win. In a little over a year, she began making earnest money from tournaments, ultimately totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. She won a major title, got a sponsor, and got used to being on television, and to headlines like "How one writer's book deal turned her into a professional poker player." She even learned to like Las Vegas.But in the end, Maria Konnikova is a writer and student of human behavior, and ultimately the point was to render her incredible journey into a container for its invaluable lessons. The biggest bluff of all, she learned, is that skill is enough. Bad cards will come our way, but keeping our focus on how we play them and not on the outcome will keep us moving through many a dark patch, until the luck once again breaks our way.
