Book excerpt: The Bible is one of our best sources of history, especially when it comes to morality and civility. The Bible has story after story and gives many parables referring to the reason for the downfall of men and woman. This degradation obviously creates problems not only in families and organizations. But in society. The basis for the problems can best be classified as spirits which seems to be contrary to a homogeneous or peaceful relationship.
Book Synopsis The Biggest Bluff by : Maria Konnikova
Download or read book The Biggest Bluff written by Maria Konnikova and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 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 Post It'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.

Book excerpt: Dad takes an unplanned detour during a family vacation to Winnipeg. He is lured by the Canadian lakes he fished as a young boy with his stepfather Cal and Uncle Joe. The rediscovery renews a dogged pursuit of the rare and elusive, freshwater monster -- the muskie. With single-minded fixation, three generations of Hawkins men (and an assortment of neighborhood kids) escape from civilization to focus annual fishing adventures on capturing a world-record muskie. Motivated by the enthusiasm of his young sons Z and Buck, Hawkins embarks on fishing expeditions to Big Bluff, the special lake of his youth. Grandpa Cal is invited to join the party and remains the grumpy skeptic based on past fishing experiences: "You knuckleheads couldn’t land a big one if it jumped in your pants." But for Hawkins and eldest son Z, no storm is too fierce, no forest too mosquito infested, and no boat motor too undependable to derail their dream. Comical predicaments and sometimes dangerous circumstances pepper the long hours and special moments the men share fishing on the intricate system of beautiful lakes that connect to Big Bluff. Early morning trips to the camp outhouse and greasy, dirty-dish-producing breakfasts prepared by Grandpa Cal fuel many extended days on the sacred water. Beyond fantastic speculations of giant fish and murderers, descriptions of fishing reel the reader into the ebb and flow of each day’s adventures. Roscoe, the boisterous, quirky camp owner, and muskie mentor Jasper, are just two of the colorful characters who inhabit the wilderness setting where the Hawkins men establish their tradition. Through a dense haze of evening mosquitoes and whisky breath, Roscoe tantalizes the boys with tales of "ji-uhnd" muskies as big as his "laig." Roscoe reveals treasured “secrid” directions to a hidden muskie promise land that will require navigating cluttered creeks, pushing heavy boats over multiple beaver dams, and a boatless portage through the forest. Years pass and normal life ensnares each of the men. Hawkins sees his fragile marriage with wife Abbey erode, watches his boys grow into men, and witnesses the unforgiving aging process claim vitality from his mother, Cal, and Uncle Joe. A strong desire to fully understand the people closest to him gives rise to a personal philosophy for Hawkins that probes and questions normally accepted "truths." Respect grows for his strong-willed mother, and Hawkins learns to cherish every occasion spent with Cal, Uncle Joe, and the boys. His marriage eventually ends and forces a difficult transition to a new life away from Z and Buck. But Hawkins gratefully learns that setbacks are not permanent. He discovers love for a spirited woman who often challenges his "simple-minded" male values. Can she accept the baffling worldview of this family of fanatical fishing nuts?

Download or read book Ike's Bluff written by Evan Thomas and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evan Thomas's startling account of how the underrated Dwight Eisenhower saved the world from nuclear holocaust. Upon assuming the presidency in 1953, Dwight Eisenhower set about to make good on his campaign promise to end the Korean War. Yet while Eisenhower was quickly viewed by many as a doddering lightweight, behind the bland smile and simple speech was a master tactician. To end the hostilities, Eisenhower would take a colossal risk by bluffing that he might use nuclear weapons against the Communist Chinese, while at the same time restraining his generals and advisors who favored the strikes. Ike's gamble was of such magnitude that there could be but two outcomes: thousands of lives saved, or millions of lives lost. A tense, vivid and revisionist account of a president who was then, and still is today, underestimated, Ike's Bluff is history at its most provocative and thrilling.
