This book is for traders who already have a trading plan or a stratgy in discretionary trading. This book will show you methods how to stand by yourself, watch yourself, and help yourself to follow your own guidelines.
Dr. Steenbarger states that he only coaches professional and institutional traders. So all of his books (I like Enhancing Trader Performance best) come at a huge discount.
This book is divided into 10 chapters made off 101 lessons. The reader/trader may find that some lessons aren't of any concern to her, and then he finds other lessons that really address his specific need or problem. Dr Steenbarger's books even helped me in other areas of my life.
But as for trading; in my not so humble opinion, a proper trading plan is still the most important asset to the trader. By all means in trading one has to know why to do, when to do, and how to do something. It's like a traffic light: you may feel you're tired, sad, happy or excited; you still know what to do when you see green light or red light. Psychology takes care of itself after you've crossed the street. It's when your plan works and you find it's your own behavior that hinders to get the most off it, then this book might help you with overcoming your limitations.

Finally today, 28 September 2009, I received the ordered book. The book is in a very good condition, but surprisingle it took a full month to get this book by international mail from U.S.A. to Australia. Recently I purchased an item on e-bay and the e-bay item arrived within a week for the same P&H price of $12.95. It is not clear to me on why it has taken so long to received the book.
 This book is overrated and it's no more than common sensical things being brought up. August 12, 2009

I read all the great reviews in here thinking this book must be really good. But upon reading it, I realized it's about training yourself to be a coach for yourself?? I thought this book was about learning how to beat the market by implementing trading strategies but it's all about stupid things like eating well, going to sleep early and bunch of other stupid mundane common sensical things that any average intelligent person should know. And what's learning to be a coach has to do with trading since trading in it self is already a handful to learn. The last thing I want is to add more unnecessary info into my already overwhelming trading strategies. Unless you have no common sense and you're less than an average intelligent person then buy this book but otherwise save your money for better books. And if you're that less than average then you shouldn't be trading the stock market to begin with. Once again I really don't know what other reviewers are seeing in this book that they gave 5 stars.
Edit:
Let me clarify again about what I said. Just why would I want to learn how to be a coach and instead of learning how to trade? It's like if you want to learn how to play tennis, why would you want to buy a book on how to be a tennis coach rather than learning how to play instead? I believe this author tries to be unique in trying to sell his book by being pretentious and somewhat condescending.

"What were you thinking?" "Why did you do that?" "Did you think that through?" "Is this really what you want to do?" How many times have we traders asked ourselves these questions? This book has helped me ask the difficult questions before making the big mistakes. Written in a wonderful conversational tone, and in everyday language, the author presents short and concise daily lessons on how to fine tune your trading game. Best read and re-read to reinforce the lessons and coaching tips. Highly recommended.
This is a great book but heavy reading July 29, 2009

This is a great book on trading psychology. Since it consists of 101 lessons it is actaully quite heavy reading. The reading itself is not heavy, but the reader will have to think and digest the 101 lessons. That is a heavy job.
I would suggest that you start out with the author's first or second book:
- The first book is about emotions and trading
- The second book is about learning and trading
Pick the topic that is most challenging to you and start by reading that book. If you like what you read, then I would suggest you buy the current book
