Editorial Reviews

It’s funny because reading through the book I kept finding myself being able to personally connect with what was being described. Not just in the poker world but in other parts of life as well. I’ll give TMGP a big thumbs up. I think it’s one of the few books that breaks new ground in the poker genre.

Bill Rini

I wish I read it 8 years ago for the first time, because he hit home with me on this one. I definitely recommend it and have to say the obvious, if I had read it 8 years ago it would definitely not be the last time I opened it.

Andreas Torbergsen

This book contains advice that simply isn’t out there on forums or training sites (except at jaredtendlerpoker.com) and could well be the most important book you ever read.

Matt Perry

Raises the bar so high for poker mindset books, other thinkers may not be able to clear it.

Jack Welch

I’m a tilt monkey and finished the book with the confidence knowing I can diminish tilting at the tables.
