About half of the chapters are worth reading, but the other half are a real struggle; due to the author going off on some sort of ego trip or random rant.
The Art of the Trade
For those chapters that are worth reading, they are great and really get to the main point of trading; reading behind the prices into the psychology of what everyone else is doing. He does a great job of putting showing that you need to start thinking of it as a conflict of views for each trade I'm really not sure what I think about this book.
He does a great job of putting showing that you need to start thinking of it as a conflict of views for each trade. There is always someone of the other side of your trade. He really helps to view the common ideas in a different way. Unfortunately the rest of the book is simply one big ego trip and a diatribe of random philosophical thoughts.
These chapters were rather short though so it wasn't too hard to get through them. Overall it's an ok read. Definitely not going to recommend it ahead of a large number of other books.
