I used a gift certificate (from my job, no less) to place some orders on Amazon ... and this book was one of them.
I'll check back in with an unbiased review when I've completed the book.

I've been reading the book, it focuses mainly on the psychology of trading, managing risk, dealing with fear and having a flexibile mindset.
IMHO the price of the book is cheap, my last ES stop out cost me $100 bucks and, due to the information that I gleaned from the book, I was able to focus, wait for my next signal, and I more than doubled that on the next trade.
So, thanks to the OP for the heads-up, and good trading to you guys/girls.
