Emotional Intelligence: 10th Anniversary Edition; Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

Now, this is not a trading book, but it talks about how the mind works and why it does what it does under certain conditions, namely stress, frustration and all those other wonderful emotions we all go through.

It talks about why and how we act on impulse.

Not only will this book help you monitor yourself while in a trade or about to get into a trade, it'll also open your eyes up to being a better person in general, it'll help you with all aspects of life since money is not everything in this world.

If you are struggling from the mental side of trading, I highly recommend this book to you, its well worth the money you spend on it rather than "impulsing" your money away to the markets.

The author is Daniel Goldman
