Brett Steenbarger's Books

I just found out that my local library has 3 of Brett Steenbarger's books:

1. The Psychology of Trading: Tools and Techniques for Minding the Markets
2. Enhancing Trader Performance: Proven Strategies From the Cutting Edge of Trading Psychology (Wiley Trading)
3. The Daily Trading Coach: 101 Lessons for Becoming Your Own Trading Psychologist (Wiley Trading)

#3 is currently checked out, but the other two are available. Are all 3 different enough that you would recommend reading each, or is only one necessary?

If the former, which should I begin with? If the latter, which one is the only necessary one?

From memory the books you've numbered 1, 2 & 3 are the order that he wrote them in. In my personal opinion, read his second and third book, and you can ignore his first. I thought that this first and second books were very similar.

I have had the 2nd book highly recommended to me, got it in the mail today, so can't give you a personal opinion. All I can offer I'm afraid.

I've read #1 and #2. I would recommend reading #1 and skip #2.

I bought #3 and am only part way through it. It's good so far, but since I haven't finished it, I can't comment on it yet.

I've read 2 and 3. Wholeheartedly recommended.

What I like the best from these books is, if you take out the trading specific's from the material, the performance psychology ideas can be applied to many other aspects of life also. I got/still getting much value in that regard from those books
