I think we have all received some nuggets of wisdom over time from various sources. Some trading books are a must, but i have also found psychology, autobiographies and books that explore the nature of the world, economy and people to be extremely useful.
The books most instrumental to my success i think are these:
"Madness Of Crowds" "Wealth of Nations" (Adam Smith) "Manufacturing consent" (Nome Chomsky) "Warren Buffets ground rules" "The Big Secret for the small investor (Joel Greenblatt) "Trading in the zone (Mark Douglas) "Losing My Virginity" (Autobiography by Richard Branson)
I have found "Self help" Books to be around 50/50 Damaging and helpful. I do not accept that our attitudes regarding success/riches has a large impact on our success. (In fact i think these beliefs are somewhat destructive) It always comes down to actions. If you hate a company and hate yourself, but you buy that companie's stock. Then your wealth will increase with the stock price of that stock. Regardless of any other factor..
What Book recommendations do you have? Does not have to be directly related to trading. Please also share Books you would not recommend reading, that contain Bad/Inaccurate messages/ideas according to your own experiences.
