i'm half way through "The Poker Mindset" and it's pretty basic but pretty good and accurate.

The Poker Mindset hands-down for me. I purchased it using Full
Tilt points and am glad I did.

Without a doubt I would have to chose Zen and the Art of Poker. The whole book is about controlling your emotional aspect of the game and helped me tremendously. Anyone who has trouble with tilt should read it.

Mark Blade kept saying that he would write a book on the mental game, no word on if he is.

Definitely The Poker Mindset. Nothing else comes close IMO.

I will definitely second Zen and the Art of Poker. After a bad day, there tends to be a chapter you absolutely must read.

I sat silent and watched Zen take a beating in another thread. I liked it. It provides some good thoughts and perspectives. Of course, I wouldn't follow the strategy advice, but it's not supposed to be a strategy book anyway. How much does it help with tilt? As much as you allow it to. Ultimately, it's all up to the player but Zen can easily help get your mind headed in the right direction toward tilt prevention.
