This book changed my life.

This book really changed my definition of "working on my game". Most of the concepts Jared shares also apply to any sport and life in general. Great piece of knowledge and best poker related book I've read/listened to so far. (And I read a lot of those)

Straightened My Game Out!

Have you sometimes wondered what's wrong with your game?

This book and the 2nd one, have revealed the leaks I was trying to plug.

Yep, it's all in Your Head!

If applied, assimilated and practiced, these principles, concepts and insights will aid in steering, or righting the direction any serious student of the game of poker 1st, then other areas of life, onto the proverbial highway of success!

More than one listen is highly reccommended as the deep, yet practical approach and instruction will lead to multiple "ah hah" moments as your mind is bridled and trained towards avenues of purpose, thus giving you the "mental tools" needed to avoid any Phil Helmuth tyrannical fits, all captured before them being allowed to manifest.

Get them, read them, practice them and you will be rewarded more than the price paid for their advice.

Thanks Jared!

Very useful logic map for the serious poker player

I ended up getting more out of this book than I expected. Jared is fantastic at laying out the logic map for navigating the mental game of poker. Only thing I would have liked is for him to have put more of a pause in between new subject matter. I also feel like you would be better off going through this book with a physical copy rather than audiobook. All in all a very useful tool for the serious poker player

Very Informative

Where does The Mental Game of Poker rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's my favorite book on poker psychology. My background is in psychology and I have a graduate degree in it. That doesn't make me immune to my own mental game flaws and. Jared is well qualified to teach on the matter. He presents some very common mental leaks in an easy to understand way and provides practical feedback on addressing the leaks.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mental Game of Poker?

The whole book is helpful. The leaks Jared covers are so common you're bound to identify with at least one. It's like having coaching sessions with him to read this,

Have you listened to any of Jared Tendler’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

He's good at this. The material is great and he reads it well for a non-professional reader.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. After the overview I couldn't wait to get to the chapters that were specific to my own mental game weaknesses.

Terrible recording

Audible should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this recording to see the light of day. I’ve heard better quality recordings on fisher price toy recorders. It completely takes away from the content.

Such bad recording quality couldn’t finish it

Recording quality was real bad. I’m sure the content would get better but the quality was so bad I couldn’t finish the book.

Buy the BOOK not the audio

I'm 5 chapters in and I can't take any more.
The author doesn't speak in monotone, but he may as well.
The content is great for SERIOUS poker players, but only if you can get through the way the author speaks. It's almost one great long run on sentence with chapter breaks.
