Some good books other than on trading
First The Art of War by Sun Tzu.It is an absolute gem.
Some quotes here
Gordon Gekko of movie wall street said this one-Every battle is one before it is fought
"All warfare is based on deception"
"When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil.When full, starve them.When settled, make them move."
"In conflict, straightforward actions generally lead to engagement, surprising actions generally lead to victory."
Thus those skilled in war subdue the enemy's army without battle ... . They conquer by strategy.
Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy, but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril.
In war, numbers alone confer no advantage.
To ... not prepare is the greatest of crimes; to be prepared beforehand for any contingency is the greatest of virtues.
What is of the greatest importance in war is extraordinary speed: One cannot afford to neglect opportunity.
