Customer Reviews

A must-read book for inspiration and courage-seekers
Possibly the most inspirational trading book I have read, both for the amateur and the pro. It is amazing to see how few people take the time to groom their minds and their mental fortitude ahead of the rough-and-tumble of today's markets. This book will give you plenty of food for thought and teach you quite some humility.

A manual for more than trading... a manual for life
I am a school teacher who also engages with the financial markets.

This book has provided me with the best non-fictional read that I have had in many years.

Within a week of completion, my approach to the business of speculation has been transformed. Although I have been net profitable for a few years, one thing that I have lacked is the supreme composure of the Samurai in my engagement with the financial battlefield.

The centering approach that Dr McCall advocates, alongside the elimination of fear by operating within the 'now' are two key mindshifts that I have benefitted from.

The book has a most helpful structure. Each chapter starts by recounting a story from the times of the Samurai. Each chapter then proceeds with an explanation of the underlying themes contained within the Samurai story. Each chapter concludes with a real-life application of Samurai principles to a specific trader.

As a school teacher, I am fortunate to be blessed with a huge number of weeks of holidays per year. Dr McCall has opened my eyes and heart to the power of Samurai culture, and I would anticipate a journey of enlightenment to Japan in due course to learn more about this great tradition.

It covers all the bases.....to life
Although at some points, it is lengthy; it is worth it. I recommend this awesome book to anybody. It is marketed for financial traders, but let me be the first to tell you that it is for everybody. For a month or so now I have been personally learning under McCall's supervision in the art of Ninjutsu, and I love it. It has changed my life, point of view, and the simple involuntary ways of life. His book is the bottom layer to accomplishing any goals that you set whether in martial arts or financial trading. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
