Book Recommendation by Prashant

TraderPsyche by Anand Siva Kumar is a refreshing and brutally honest look at what truly determines success or failure in the world of trading: the trader’s own mind. Unlike typical market books that focus on strategies and setups, this one takes you behind the scenes into the real psychological battle every trader faces daily. The author draws from his personal journey filled with wins, painful losses, emotional struggles, and eventual transformation to highlight how mastering emotions is more important than mastering charts. What makes this book unique is its integration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), explained in ways that directly relate to trading situations. Each chapter explores a common mental trap that traders fall into. From the rush of overconfidence after a lucky streak to the fear and paralysis that follows losses, the examples are real and relatable. The book includes reflection exercises, quizzes, and clear ...

Eva Fellner’s The Highlanderess: Vol 1 is an intense and unforgettable historical epic that gripped me from the opening scene. The story begins with Enja von Caerlaverock, a warrior disguised as a noble bride, preparing to assassinate an English baron during a wedding ceremony.

What I loved most is how Fellner weaves together diverse cultures, languages, and legends into one cohesive narrative. The setting shifts from the icy shores of Iceland to the politi...

Katy Jordan’s "The Red Rocket " is a bold, emotionally charged exploration of trauma, redemption, and the burden of past mistakes. From the gripping prologue that opens with a devastating car crash to the intricately woven relationships within the secretive Colour Coded organisation, Jordan crafts a narrative that is both cinematic and raw. At its core is Jacob Turner, now codenamed Rocket, a deeply conflicted protagonist who is constantly at war with his guilt. After a tragic accident and his decision to flee the scene, Jacob enters a clandestine world where identities are hidden but pasts still bleed through. What sets this book apart is Jordan’s unflinching portrayal of mental health. Rocket’s internal struggles are handled with realism and compassion, especially as he navigates survivor’s guilt, self-worth, and the judgment of those closest to him. The ensemble cast, each with a code name and complex backstory, adds richness to the plot. The death and symbolic funeral of ...
