    Good content, very bad narration

    The narration is not suitable for this kind of subject. It reminds me very old historical book.
    The content is good basic guide for start trading.

    Absolutely loved it.

    Might be a bit confusing for complete beginners as it explains many things without being able to show you pictures for visual learners. I loved the insight, how clear and concise this book was. Most concepts from what I understand are still relevant as mass psychology is relatively primitive and hard to change. Highly recommend

    Concise

    I love how concise and clear all the information is packed. To me it’s a must for anyone trying to become a better trader. Worth more than one listen and also worth it to buy the real book to annote it.

    If you have a clue. This is not for you.

    A little too general in its coverage of the topic. In the last 12 months I have had the opportunity to listen to a number of books that do a much better job of relating the how's and why's in a palatable way for beginning traders. Narration was great.
