I found the book appealing from two perspectives: leaning about trading and developing the mindset that can be applied outside of professional life. The book is easy to read and has short stories about professional trading life. Throughout all those stories you can learn a lot about positive mindset approach to mistakes, fears and risks. I think this helps the book to stand out.
Best Loser wins is a book on trading and the mind set required to be successful. It will reprogram your thinking and teach you how to lose along the way. The lessons can be applied to life and all its ups and downs so outside of trading the book is useful as a self help guide. It should definitely read by traders, both established and up and coming but would also be useful as a general self help book for life.
Best Loser wins is one of those rare books you wish more people would read but probably won't without a) you begging them or b) them being interested in trading.
It's more a book about the mindset necessary for successful trading but it's so much more - it's about developing a mindset for dealing with losing, and losing big. Yet even this description doesn't really do it justice because it's a book about dealing with yourself through the ups and downs of life - it applies to so much more than trading.
Reading this book will probably save some people a lot of money as they will realise they are not ready to trade effectively (I know I'm not!) but I am also reflecting on my everyday reactions in life. I think I could benefit from cross-polinating some of the upside down advice in here. I love the thinking in here: To get rich you must think like the 1% but even if you don't just don't think like the 99%.
Normal is for losers. Hurrah!
I was expecting a very difficult read but thanks to the author and the way of narration that it's actually fun to read this book.
Eleven short chapters on the most prolific retail traders, the book gives a good insight to the trading world.
The book explains well how to think differently when we think about trading and how we can elevate our gam.
Well, some things did went beyond my understanding as I am not well versed with the trading world but I am here to learn and listen.
Who will I recommend this book to?
Definitely to the budding youngsters as well as the adults who will definitely benefit from such books. The writing is easy and fun, not boring and not too complicated.
Thank you, Harriman House, for the advance reading copy.
