What do you think is the best non-strategy poker book?

One of a Kind by Nolan Dalla and Peter Alson: About Stu Ungar's rise and fall. Very informative about his life and how he absolutely dominated in gin prior to moving to poker. Unfortunately, drugs and sports betting got the best of him.

Deal Me In by John and Marvin Karlins: Wide range of stories pertaining to how the biggest names in the game became big names. A lot of interesting stories in here.

Every Hand Revealed by Gus Hansen: About Hansen's 2007 Aussie Millions Championship win for $1.2 million. It details all his moves. Hansen has been getting crushed recently, but it's still a good book.

The Dark Side of the Felt by Tyler Nals: Loosely based on true story. Nals plays in dangerous underground poker games on Long Island and in Charlotte: pistol-whipping, robberies, police busts, strippers, hustlers, etc.

Best one? Any others to add to the list?

The Professor, The Banker, and the Suicide King by Michael Craig. This is about the long-running high stakes cash games challenge between billionaire Andrew Beal and many of the top pros in Las Vegas. Fascinating read, I highly recommend it.

I liked Deal Me In, except for the constant Full Tilt plugs. I'm sure everyone regrets it being in there. :)

Congratulations on this post.
I did not know any books on this topic and now I have already had an indication of where and what to look for to try to improve my game.

I like the poker mindset is not about strategy but about how you feel and what to do in those situations in poker
