I understand this is not a technical book about poker, but more about a general mentality to take on. Do you think this book is worth a read? It's by David Apostolico. Thanks

I don't understand why people wouldn't just read poker books and also read the translations of Sun Tzu and Machiavelli. Surely if you're intelligent enough to get the ideas at all, you will be better off finding them in their original forms and applying them to your life, including poker. These package deals smell like little more than sophisticated marketing schemes to me.
