About this listen
Trading is a stressful occupation with mental and emotional traps on every side. Our instincts drive us to self-destruction: holding plummeting stocks in the hope of a sudden recovery, or obsessing over the minute-to-minute movements of our holdings. What if there were a trader who knew how to avoid these traps and could teach us to trade from a place of inner calm and peace of mind?
Peter Castle has been a successful trader in financial markets for almost 30 years. He also happens to be a Zen monk. Peter’s unique perspective gives him unrivaled insight into how the wisdom of Zen can empower us to master our minds, and so achieve success in the markets.
Many guides to using Zen avoid clear prescriptions and rely instead on cryptic quotes. In The Zen Trader, Peter demystifies both trading and Zen using decades of experience, sharing dozens of real-life examples, and explaining clearly the systems that enable mastery of both disciplines.
He teaches us how to limit distraction, focus attention, detach from problematic emotions, be true to ourselves, and embrace the unlimited opportunities that exist in our professional and personal lives.
Following Peter’s wisdom, you, too, can become a Zen trader.

The legendary investor shows how to identify and master the cycles that govern the markets. We all know markets rise and fall, but when should you pull out, and when should you stay in? The answer is never black or white, but is best reached through a keen understanding of the reasons behind the rhythm of cycles. Confidence about where we are in a cycle comes when you learn the patterns of ups and downs that influence not just economics, markets and companies, but also human psychology and the investing behaviors that result.

In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a handing off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted, and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time.
