You're a wise bunch ... :P I know, I know ... there are plenty of books that influenced you ... in different ways, at various times, but if you had to name ONLY ONE that had the most impact on your life ... what would it be? Just curious. Will name mine later. Best to all, C.C.

The Autobiography of Mr. T

As you can see, it's still in demand. Amazon is sold out.

It's the only autobiography you'll ever need.

"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."
--George Bernard Shaw


"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free."
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Mastery" by George Leonard.

"If you've heard this story before, don't stop me because I'd like to hear it again," Groucho Marx (on market history?).

“I've learned in options trading simple is best and the obvious is often the most elusive to recognize.”

 

"The god of trading rewards persistence, experience and discipline, and absolutely nothing else."

Think and Grow Rich because it opened doors for me to study of metaphysics, spirituality, and self-improvement. I read it about 10 years age when I was 20 and it changed my life.
