Cool Down: Getting Further by Going Slower

After reading a lousy book, time to go for something relaxing... At the end, this book is too relaxing, LOL!

If I am 10-20 years younger, I think I will love this book. Now, at the age of 41, "cool down" stuff no more an issue to me. So, I do not need a book to help me to cool down. I am “cool” automatically, LOL.

Overall, this is a nice book. I strongly recommend youngsters to explore further on this idea especially if you are those who always complaint that 24 hours never enough. Frankly, if I am younger, I may not buy this idea of cool down. But, the older I get, the wiser I am. Now, I truly appreciate the wisdom of "getting further by going slower".

For a full rating of 10, I am going to rate this book at 3. Well, the author did well in presenting the "cool down" stuff. However, this theory no more appealing to me since I already started cooled down few years back. Having said that, I have no hesitation to recommend this book for those who are always hectic in their life. This book could serves as a good solution for busy peoples.

The Financial Spread Betting Handbook: The definitive guide to making money trading spread bets

Accidentally found this book in the offer section... Out of curiosity, I grab this book at the offered price. After spending two days reading it, now I know why it ends up in the offer section, LOL.

Before I complaint further, let me introduce this book. This is a book about spread betting. Spread betting is actually something very common in Europe. In Malaysia context, it is not something relevant. To cut it short, spread betting is purely to speculate in the market (regardless of products) by taking advantage on the spread differences without commission being charged. So, it is more or less an over the counter products. The facts that it does not involve exchange showed the irrelevance part in Malaysia context.

Well... let me continue on the complaints, LOL... This is a beginner book for those who want to know about spread betting. Nothing much can be gain from this book. The author did his part to introduce the spread betting. However, that is the only thing in this book. In my humble opinion, any readers can easily get this sort of info by googling. So, to me, this book offers nothing.

For a full rating of 10, I am going to rate this book at 0/10. With due respect to the author; unfortunately, I really gain nothing by reading this book.
