Self Help for Traders

   Surely you spend time on conditioning your mind?

  I must confess, proudly, to being both a bit of a book worm and a self-help junkie. It is often quoted that if one can gather one piece of wisdom from every book you read then that book has served its purpose. So here is a random list of books, tapes, movies and anything else you can think of that has helped me on my way to financial, and most importantly, spiritual bliss:
