Big Mistakes: The Best Investors and Their Worst Investments explores the ways in which the biggest names have failed and reveals the lessons learned that shaped more successful strategies going forward.
Investing can be a roller-coaster of highs and lows, and the investors detailed here reveal just how low it can go; stories from Warren Buffet, Bill Ackman, Chris Sacca, Jack Bogle, Mark Twain, John Maynard Keynes, and many more illustrate the simple but overlooked concept that investing is really hard, whether you're managing a few thousand dollars or a few billion. Failures and losses are part of the game. Much more than just anecdotal diversion, these stories set the basis for the book's critical focus: learning from mistakes. These investors all recovered from their missteps and moved forward armed with a wealth of knowledge than can only come from experience. Lessons learned through failure carry a weight that no textbook can convey and in the case of these legendary investors, informed a set of skills and strategy that propelled them to the top.
Research-heavy and grounded in realism, this book is a must-listen for any investor looking to maximize their chances of success.

The writing style and presentation made the listen enjoyable, and the inclusion of trading idioms and wisdom throughout each chapter was well spaced.
Would actually put this one up there just behind some of the Market Wizards books for overall trading wisdom in a concise and fresh approach.

This is the stuff you learn by 35 in one book.
But young bucks find it hard to Ready, Aim, and then Fire. The author Fired liked a mad man, then he aimed. But he is offering his wisdom to all. It’s good, take it!
For older investors it’s a good reminder to stay in the right path but you should already know this stuff. Livermore and Long Term Capital Management are well known stories.
