Welcome to my blog. I’ll do my best to update it regularly (or semi-regularly, at the least…) with news, writing updates, and other assorted thoughts. Read, enjoy, and please share your thoughts and comments. If you’re looking for psychology pieces at the New Yorker, you can find them here. If you’re looking for my old blog about literature and psychology, Literally Psyched, you can find it here.

My next book is on the way!

April 11, 2017

I’m so excited that my next book has found a wonderful home at Penguin Press. It will chronicle my yearlong journey from poker neophyte to the World Series, with the best player in the world, Erik Seidel, as my guide. But this isn’t a book about poker. It’s an exploration of the balance of luck and skill in our daily lives – and how we can become the best decision makers we possibly can. Part memoir, part psychological and philosophical reflection, it will use No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em as a metaphor for life – and, I hope, teach us all how to live the best, fullest, most satisfying lives we possibly can. Here is the official announcement:

Check back for updates – my journey through the world of poker is only just beginning!
