Download or read book Poker Face written by Katy Lederer and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-02-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The intricacies of family and the complexities of the games they play mingle wonderfully here in a memoir quite unlike any other.”—George Plimpton, author of Truman Capote Katy Lederer grew up on the bucolic campus of an exclusive East Coast boarding school where her father taught English, her mother retreated into crosswords and scotch, and her much older siblings played “grown-up” games like gin rummy and chess. But Katy faced much more than the typical trials of childhood. Within the confines of the Lederer household an unlikely transformation was brewing, one that would turn this darkly intellectual and game-happy group into a family of professional gamblers. Poker Face is Katy Lederer’s perceptive account of her family’s lively history. From the long kitchen table where her mother played what seemed an endless game of solitaire, to the seedy New York bars where her brother first learned to play poker, to the glamorous Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, where her sister and brother wager hundreds of thousands of dollars a night at the tables, Lederer takes us on a tragicomic journey through a world where intelligence and deceit are used equally as currency. Not since Mary McCarthy’s Memories of a Catholic Girlhood has a writer cast such a witty and astringently analytic eye on the demands of growing up. An unflinching exploration of trust and betrayal, competition, suspicion, and unconventional familial love, Poker Face is a testament to the human spirit’s inventiveness when faced with unusually difficult odds.

Book excerpt: What to expect and not to Expect From Poker Face Reader (TM) This groundbreaking program focuses on one topic, how to "read" a poker face, This unique system teaches readers to detect, interpret and exploit Poker Face Tells(TM). Players who master this new skill gain a winning advantage in poker. The system introduces players to ways of reading emotions in the face. These emotions appear as micro-expressions. Micro-expressions consist of brief facial movements that appear and vanish in a fraction of a second. Authors Lacey and Lane call the emotions that leak through masks "Poker Face Tells." Readers train their eyes to spot these fleeting expressions. In a poker game no one can conceal his feelings behind a poker face. That's why the authors say, "You can run, but you can't hide from a poker face reader!" By learning how to "read" a poker face, readers penetrate an opponent's false mask. They can even spot bluffs. Readers become expert at interpreting fleeting emotions within a tiny fraction of a second. Your opponents cannot hide expressions such as fear or disgust. Telltale emotional expressions are uncontrollable and unconscious. They are also invisible to most other players. Poker Face Reader focuses readers' attention on seven major emotions. They are Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Anger, Disgust, Surprise, and Contempt. The examples in the book exaggerate each emotion to help readers recognizes them in any poker situation. They reveal the strength or weakness of poker hands. An effective way for readers to become expert is a four-step process. The first step is to study the text and the pictures of each emotion. The second step is to practice observing many faces. Readers learn to practice skills in private meetings as well as with strangers in public settings. The third step is to practice spotting emotions while observing live poker games. The fourth step is to apply knowledge of poker face "tells" in live poker games. Readers will develop enough expertise to become skilled poker face readers. They can win in most small stakes games. The authors avoid distracting readers with discussions of such topics as bankroll management and poker math. When readers learn to read poker faces, they can make optimal use of other poker skills..

Book excerpt: Held captive for her ability to read people’s true emotions, Caitlyn is forced to work for a ruthless man who never gives up what he considers his. Caitlyn’s ability to see the true emotions beneath the masks has finally caught up with her. She’s now a prisoner, forced to use her gifts to advance the shady business dealings of rich and powerful casino owner, Santiago Gomez. As his captive, Caitlyn witnesses illegal deals and meets his criminal connections, and she soon realizes that Santiago will never let her escape—she’s seen too much, and she’s making him too much money. Her only hope is her boyfriend Eric and the scribbled note she left him before she was dragged into this mess. Eric knows something bad has happened to Caitlyn, and he’s positive she didn’t really want to break up with him like she’d written in her note. But she’s disappeared without a trace and he has no idea where to search for her first. Panicked and desperate, Eric follows a tenuous lead to Las Vegas, not caring that his rescue attempt might cost him his life. All he knows, is that he has to find Caitlyn before it’s too late… This explosive ending to the Masks series is packed with gripping tension and a nail-biting conclusion that you won’t see coming. ★★★★★ "This was an amazing end to a truly terrific series." Katie J, reader review ★★★★★ "The romance, the suspense, that gut wrenching thrill of this adventure with Eric and Caity, there's just no word to describe it... you have to read the book yourself and experience the ride to feel how it felt. I was so immersed into the story that it didn't feel like I was reading it, it felt like was there…" Shy Unique, reader review

Book Synopsis Poker Face in Mental Health Practice: A Primer on Deception Analysis and Detection by : Ansar Haroun
Download or read book Poker Face in Mental Health Practice: A Primer on Deception Analysis and Detection written by Ansar Haroun and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the latest techniques from poker players to detect when your patients are lying to you. Forensic psychiatrists frequently deal with deceptive people. In these cases, malingering is the most common type of deception one encounters. However, deception on the part of mental health clients in other treatment settings is much broader and more complex than malingering, and learning the signs of deception can be useful for therapists in any specialty, especially those who do not necessarily take what their clients tell them at face value. The book begins with an introduction to some basic concepts concerning deception, with particular emphasis on “what it is” and “what it isn’t.” It then looks at the motivations behind and methods of deception in mental health practice, as well as the common contexts in which deception occurs. Finally, with an eye toward the detection of deception, the book looks at the game of poker as a “clinical case study” to explore whether the popular notion of “tells” has any relevance to the practice of mental health treatment. This short and uniquely illustrated guide will help mental health professionals determine when, why, and how their clients may lie to them. With some of the analysis based on insights from the world of poker players, readers will learn about methods of deception, reasons why clients deceive them, and the best methods to uncover the truth.

Book excerpt: "Stop feeding me bullshit. Tell me the truth." -- Lady Gaga, 2009 "I hate the truth. I hate the truth so much I prefer a giant dose of bullshit any day over the truth." -- Lady Gaga, 2010 In little over a year, Stefani Germanotta, a struggling performer in New York's Lower East Side burlesque scene, has become the global demographic-smashing pop icon known as Lady Gaga. She is a once-in-a-decade artist, a gifted singer, composer, designer, and performance artist who mixes high and low culture, the avant-garde with the accessible, authenticity with artifice. Who is Lady Gaga? She is a twenty-four-year-old woman whose stage mantra -- "I'm a free bitch!" -- is the polar opposite of who she is offstage: isolated, insecure, and unable to be alone. She is an outree artist who wanted to be a sensitive singer-songwriter, whose musical heroes include Britney Spears, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen. She is a woman who says no man can ever compete with her career, but who still isn't over the ex-boyfriend who said she was too ambitious. She claims not to care what people think, but spends her downtime online, reading what people have to say about her. She claims to be a con artist and utterly authentic. She is never less than compelling. Based on over fifty original interviews with friends, employees, rivals, and music industry veterans, Poker Face is the first in-depth biography of the extraordinary cultural phenomenon that is Lady Gaga. Quotes from Poker Face: "It's a privilege to be here tonight to open for Lady Gaga. I've made it." -- President Barack Obama, October 2009 "I remember thinking, 'That could be her. But I hope it's not.'" -- Producer Rob Fusari "Her 'crazy' outfit was putting suspenders on her jeans." -- former classmate "She is perfectly, almost genetically engineered to be a twenty-first-century pop star." -- Eric Garland, CEO, BigChampagne.com "If you looked at her, you'd think she was a jam band chick. She had a heady, grimy vibe." -- former NYU classmate Jon Sheldrick "She's not progressive, but she's a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I f---ing do!" -- Singer/rapper M.I.A. "You won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f---ing deli without hearing or seeing me." -- Lady Gaga to an ex-boyfriend, 2008

Book Synopsis Becoming a Malaysian Trans Man by : Joseph N. Goh
Download or read book Becoming a Malaysian Trans Man written by Joseph N. Goh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the fluid, mutable and contingent ways in which transgender men in Malaysia construct their subjectivities. Against the dearth of academic resources on Malaysian trans men, this ground-breaking monograph is rooted in the lived experiences of Malaysian trans men whose vicissitudes have mostly been hidden, silenced and overlooked. Comprising diverse age groups, ethnicities, socio-economic status, educational backgrounds and religious persuasions, these trans men reveal how they navigate life in a country with secular and religious laws that criminalise their embodiments, and the strategies they deploy to achieve self-determination and self-actualisation despite being perceived as aberrant and sinful. This book demonstrates how negotiations with constitutive elements such as gender identity, social interaction, citizenship, legality, bodily struggle, medical transitioning and personal spiritual validation condition the becomings of Malaysian trans men.
