This was mentioned in a thread on the general board. I got my copy today. will let you know what I think once I've read it.

I've now read about 2/5 of the book and can already recommend it for would-be full-time individual investors who are looking for inspiration in others who have succeeded in being financially independent from just their investments.

 

It's not so much an educational book as an inspirational one. There are good reminders of various techniques and mindsets, but most of the value comes from learning about other people's successes and mistakes.

Agreed that this is an inspirational book.  I think technique wise it re-inforced in me that I need to look where others aren't looking and to focus on my own path.  All of the people in the book developed their own technique and just stayed with it.

I just finished reading this book after seeing it referenced a few times in various threads. I thought it was one of the better books that I have read about investing. A fault of mine is that I can be quick to judge other investing styles that are different than my own but I found myself intrigued by all of the stories in this book. The author's writing style brings each investor to life and while each chapter is formatted similarly the information is consistently unique and interesting. I highly recommend this book and if anyone has read anything similar to this one that they can suggest please let me know!
