Vol 4 cont'd

...continued from yesterday...

What I like most about Volume 4, the volume dealing with mental states, of Van Tharp’s the Peak Performance Course is that it is specifically for trading and investing.

Some highlights include:

1. You need the mental state of confidence in the system that you are using and in your trading plan.

2. You need the mental state of being dissociated from your body while engaged in activities related to trading. That helps you avoid deviating from your trading plan by reason of being compulsive or some other disabling mental state such as fear, greed, anger, vengefulness, poverty, lack, and sadness.

For the purpose of learning how to control your own mental state, I prefer using Tony Robbins Personal Power II audio course. It’s very entertaining although it is not specific to trading and investing. I believe Personal Power II should be used before attempting to learn the stuff in Van’s Volume 4. That will make Volume 4 easier to understand as Volume 4 is densely packed with materials whereas Personal Power II spreads out the materials over 30 days of learning segments. Plus Tony Robbins delivers the information in plain-easy-to-understand English whereas Van's materials are aimed at a more academic-like audience.

Tony Robbins’ company is currently marketing the Personal Power audio course as part of their audio program entitled "Get The Edge"
