I've recently finished Barbara Ehrenreich's Bright Sided How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking and Undermined America. An interesting book, full of humor and insight into the buildup of the positive thinking industry. It shows some of the poppycock being brought forward in the workplace, born many years ago out of mysticism. From there it jumps to positive thinking being the downfall of the economy of late. It also seriously rips into many modern day religious leaders. I was left more of a cynic. The main fault of the book, and with the positive thinkers is failing to recognize that faith without works is dead. Wait for the library version, worth a read.
For traders, a worthy read to recognize that the road to hell might be paved with your own good intentions.
For myself, the things I think about I tend to work towards. I am working on my three million!

Book Review
I've recently finished Boik book Monster Stocks. I normally buy my books used but bit the bullet for this one new. It is a rehash of WON books, easily read, okay examples. I enjoyed it and suggest to those looking for big runs in bull market. It is best for swing or investors, not as much for day trading how to.
