I thought this was so thoughtful and resolved to do this myself as a way to express my gratitude. As a bonus, I get to recommend some of the best stuff written on cognitive science and decision making.
So I am starting with Maria who was kind enough to blurb How to Decide.

The Biggest Bluff is an incredible book about Maria’s journey from novice poker to poker champion in the space of a year. Maria started learning poker as a way to explore the influence on luck on our lives.
