As lawyer Henry Griswald draws up an aging client’s will, he reflects on a series of events in 1926-1927 that shattered the peace of his boyhood community. Griswald, then a student at the school where his father was headmaster, witnessed a passion that would change him forever. At the heart of Griswald’s reverie lies a mystery only he can solve. What really happened at Black Pond—a tragedy that eventually destroyed five lives?

Not many twists and turns
Reviewed: 07-03-24
This is a well written book in terms of the monologues, dialogues and descriptions. The references to other historical figures and mythology is very nicely sprinkled in. My big issue with the book, though, is that it foreshadows a bit too much. To the point that the ending is almost expected. I was hoping for some twist, some deferral from what was promised. And while there are some, don't get me wrong, it seemed too linear given what I had expected. So, the issue may not lie with the book, but the expectation that I had coming into it. If you want a good story with a great climax, this will provide that. If you are hoping for a story where you are surprised by the ending, you may not get all those elements to your hearts desire. Still a worthwhile listen.

Douglas uncovers the underlying reasons for lack of consistency and helps traders overcome the ingrained mental habits that cost them money. He takes on the myths of the market and exposes them one by one teaching traders to look beyond random outcomes, to understand the true realities of risk, and to be comfortable with the "probabilities" of market movement that governs all market speculation.

It’s like he knew me personally

His diagnoses as to why I was missing the mark in my options trading were so spot on. The fear, uncertainty and doubt that I thought that I had accepted, but truly had not, was the underlying flaw in my trading. After implementing several of the guidelines found herein, my perspectives and results have started to shift. I am truly grateful for this book.
