The Hot Hand by Ben Cohen is a non-fiction book that explores the psychology and statistics behind performance streaks in sports and other fields. On This Week in Startups, host Jason Calacanis mentioned the book on August 28, 2020, explaining that he had just started reading it to understand the concept of streaks and how people handle them when they eventually end. A couple of months later, on October 19, 2020, guest Reginald Dwayne Betts briefly discussed the book on EconTalk with host Russ Roberts. Calacanis brought up the title again on September 23, 2020, formally announcing it as the upcoming selection for the podcast book club in October. He urged co-host Joe Thomas to either read or listen to the publication, noting that it opens with a compelling story about basketball player Steph Curry. Throughout these appearances, the book was framed as an engaging exploration of momentum and human performance under pressure.
