  1. Dan,

    I have a good idea :)

    Why don't you start a thread relating to N.L.P and how you have utilized it to enhance your performance in trading?

    Also have you ever read any of Faulkner's work?

    PEACE and good-trading,

  2. I'd be interested in hearing what effect NLP has on on people's trading, as I have gone through Tony Robbin's material several times.

  3. He has an audio set, older, called Mentally Tough, but the material is the same. I often find it easier to listen to tapes in the car, than reading.

    It's worth it, if you can find it. Loehr did a lot of work with tennis players, I found the tape set through a web site tennis store after a google search.

  4. Oh I think that is where I know that name from! I think there is a quote by him somewhere in one of my books; for the name really rings a bell...

    I may check out his work -- thanks for the tip :)

    A little off the beaten path but its a field of psychology called memes (like genes to your genetic code, memes to your psychological code) and unlike genetics it argues psychology can be changed. So pick up a book on memes or transaction theory and see what I am talking about. Highly recommend
    Virus of the Mind by Richard Brodie.

    Great recommendations listed above, Thanks!

  6. Never heard of such a field of psychology -- sounds very interesting though. I think I shall check "memes" out :)

    You reminded me of three excellent books written by two seperate neurologists;

    Descartes Error; Emotion, Reason & The Human Brain -- Damasio
    The Feeling of What Happens; Body & Mind in the Making of Consciousness -- Damasio
    The Synaptic Self -- Ledeux

    Very interesting reads if you are interested in the make-up and workings of the mind (not exactly psychology though)...

    PEACE and good trading,

    nahhh that stuff doesn't interest me..it works right? :D

    Always enjoyed reading about decision making and the factors that influence them. First read about memes in a b-school class I was taking on organizational leadership...stresses positive action and decision to develop a positive habit aka meme or as some would say "the flow." Thought traders would enjoy something like that. (Damn i knew better than to make that trade!)

    Oh and a book by the way. A bestseller at the time (1967) "The Money Game" by Adam Smith. Not the Wealth of Nations dude, but a pseudonym for George Goodman, best known to you young guys as the host of PBS's Adam Smith's Money World." Set the tone for a lot of the more modern books mentioned on this thread.
