Upcoming Book Reviews
There are a couple of books I will be reading in the near future, the reviews for which I will no doubt post here shortly thereafter.
One of the books is The Age of the Unthinkable: Why the New World Disorder Constantly Surprises Us And What We Can Do About It by Joshua Cooper Ramo, which I was surpisingly gifted yesterday. This book has been on my wish list for several months now. This is less a trading book than a bigger picture politics/economics discussion, though. It will probably be more of interest to those who like reading and talking about that sort of thing.
On the trading side, I will soon be receiving Curtis Faith’s new book Trading from Your Gut: How to Use Right Brain Instinct & Left Brain Smarts to Become a Master Trader. You may have seen my previous review of Faith’s earlier book, Way of the Turtle. I rate that book very highly, which is what encouraged me to pick up this new book when given the opportunity. From the description at Amazon “In Trading from Your Gut, Curtis Faith, … reveals why human intuition is an amazingly powerful trading tool, capable of processing thousands of inputs almost instantaneously. Faith teaches you how to harness, sharpen, train, and trust your instincts and to trade smarter with your whole mind.” I’ll definitely let you know what I think of how he does there.
In case you weren’t aware, I keep a running list of trading book reviews I have written here. Make sure to check it out, and feel free to suggest books not already covered.
