I am a fan of Vitaliy, having read his email epistles for several years. This book is a compilation of his writings that were generated over time. The author runs a brokerage company that specializes in value investing. However, very little space is allocated to investing in this book.
Soul in the Game is divided into several sections. Most of the essays contain autobiographical examples which make it interesting and relevant. The section entitled Stoicism-The Philosophy for Life is most interesting. The author applies the principles of ancient stoic philosophy to modern life in a way that makes it very contemporary and relevant. In a nutshell, the book is a resource for living a good and happy life. The author has developed a habit of rising early each morning and writing about various subjects that have crossed his mind. Like Zeno, the founder of Stoicism, he does not claim to be a physician, but a patient describing the progress of his treatment to fellow patients in the hospital beds beside him.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
