Description:

Positively Fifth Street blends true crime, high-stakes poker, and personal memoir into one of the most unusual books ever written about Las Vegas. Journalist James McManus arrives in Vegas to cover the murder trial of Ted Binion heir to the legendary Binion casino family and unexpectedly ends up playing in the 2000 World Series of Poker.

McManus writes not only about cards, but about: psychology under pressure, the role of luck vs skill, ego, risk, and identity, why certain people chase volatility while others avoid it and how decision-making sharpens when everything is on the line. It’s gambling, journalism, and cultural anthropology rolled into one.

Recommendation:

Pair Positively Fifth Street with the Lazy Daze Productivity Planner.

Why this combo works: 

  • the book explores intuition vs rationality under stress
  • the planner channels that awareness into structured habits and grounded goals
  • both help you reflect on choices, energy, and decision-making patterns, but from totally different angles

Perfect for creatives, analysts, founders  and anyone fascinated by how humans behave when the cards are in the air.
