Reading habits

The highlight of being self employed and having a large amount of “free” time is the ability to read.

I love reading.

A lot of very successful people recommending reading too, so I’m sticking to it, and would highly recommend you to do so!

But if you don’t currently have a reading habit… Here are a few recommendations I would give myself

Don’t force yourself to read “smart” books

Read to enjoy yourself, don’t force it, you’ll get to a point where picking up a book becomes a habit and you’ll want to learn something new!

Start reading for the fun of it – don’t start reading complicated investment / psychology books if that’s not your cup to tea.

You’ll get to a point where that’s what you want to do,

don’t force it!

However, if you like reading here are a few of my favorite books as a trader

There’s no need to read thousands of books

Instead find books that open your mind and read them, make sure you assimilate, take notes, go back, re-read them etc

Don’t rush the process

Don’t read to show off and be the smart ass that tells everyone he speeds read a book a day but doesn’t apply shit

You don’t even need to read books, there’s loads of great blogs

A few blogs I like to follow:

Does twitter count? There’s a few amazing accounts there!
