b'Maria Konnikova is a psychologist who studied her way into becoming a poker champion. She told me all the steps. And how this made her think better and more strategically about everything in life. She studied from scratch with one of the greatest poker players in history. Then she wrote a book about the experience, \\u201cThe Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win." But the book isn\'t just about poker. It\'s about chance, decision-making, measuring the likelihood of certain outcomes, cutting your losses, and more.\\xa0 And the game even taught her how to ask (and answer) some of life\'s big questions: "How do we figure out what we can control? How do we figure out what we can\\u2019t control? How do we learn the difference?"\\n\\nHere\'s a list of topics we cover:\\nHow to find the right mentor in life\\nHow to get good at decision-making\\nHow to master the skill of learning\\nHow to leverage what you already know\\nWhy it\'s more important to be curious than certain (and how to practice this daily)\\nThe importance of removing your ego\\xa0\\nHow to always be one step ahead and think through outcomes\\n\\nAnd more.\\xa0\\n\\nI write about all my podcasts!
