3 stars (An Underutilized Course Of Therapy) - Weiss' study of reincarnation as revealed by hypnotized patients is interesting but mildly superficial. It left me with many more questions than it ever attempted to answer. I also noted an instance or two when the historical settings Weiss' patients were describing did not sound historically accurate for what was actually going on in the time and place in question. (i.e. a suit of rough fur clothing in 1400's Holland?) In a few case histories, the lifetimes of a single subject overlapped. I know there are theories of parallel lives/parallel universes, but just pointing out that this did come up on occasion or two. Whether a patient hypnotically "regressed" is giving details of a valid previous incarnation or experiencing a fantasy, there is enough evidence that has been accumulated over the years to suggest regressive hypnotherapy is an effective means of healing for some people. Perhaps the spiritual aspects of "do we live numerous earthly lifetimes" should be set aside and more emphasis placed on employing regression as a method of psychological treatment. Professionals such as Weiss should be at the vanguard of a potential health-improvement tool that has been squandered for too long among New Age gurus who would keep it shrouded in pseudo-spirituality and make use of it primarily as a parlor trick. On the other hand, does understanding the root of a fear or other issue truly guarantee healing? No. I have a friend who is terrified of dogs because she was badly bitten by a German Shepherd when she was five. Does the fact she knows what caused her fear erase the phobia? No. And "knowledge equals healing" is the entire basis for past life therapy. So, maybe making more widescale use of regression therapy is not a panacea, but then again, many patients claim it worked in their lives, so perhaps it should be used more widely. My point is, it's past time hypnotherapy vacated the genre of mysticism and entered the realm ...

3 stars (Some interesting, well researched and concluded ideas) - This book has some interesting, well researched and concluded ideas on trader psychology which make this title worth the spend. The mechanical trading system aspects though are not brought together well and in fact it is difficult to grasp what the author is saying at times.Perhaps in a future revision the author will join the dots a little for the common man? 5 stars (Teaching you how to BUILD systems - Refreshing!) - If you are looking for a get rich quick scheme where you get ready made systems that will turn your measly $2K into $500K in a year, keep searching. How refreshing that this author has avoided the temptation to sell tons of books by promising that mechanical trading systems presented in a book will accomplish this ridiculous claim! Instead this book teaches you how to build mechanical trading systems. Not only does it provide readers with tools that are applicable to all systems (trending, mean reverting, etc.,), but it also shows you how to build these systems according to your individual trading personality. Finally it avoids the typical trader "war stories". Instead of colorful, useless stories of the crash in 1987, this book actually sticks to the point... teaching you how to develop systems that fit your personality. 1 stars (Overly Simplistic and Untrue) - Page xiv says it all: "Although the proprietary strategies I personally trade differ from those employed in this book....". This is an overly simplistic, pathetic portrayal of mechanical trading systems that do not work and will not work. The book is overly technical in some areas, assumes a programming knowledge (e.g., metastock), and is generally a great sleep inducer. I am sorry I bought it, even at the discount. ...
