Publisher's summary

Soul in the Game is a book of inspiring stories and hard-won lessons on how to live a meaningful life, crafted by investor and writer Vitaliy Katsenelson.

Drawing from the lives of classical composers, ancient Stoics, and contemporary thinkers, Katsenelson weaves together a tapestry of practical wisdom that has helped him overcome his greatest challenges: in work, family, identity, health—and in dealing with success, failure, and more.

Part autobiography, part philosophy, part creativity manual, Soul in the Game is a unique and vulnerable exploration of what works, and what doesn’t, in the attempt to shape a fulfilling and happy life.

It was good because it was so different

I usually read economics/finance or compsci books with the occasional biography, so was nice to listen to something so out of the ordinary. Glad i did. Was a recommend from a friend.

Owner's Manual for the Soul

This is an excellent book that has invaluable advice about how to be a better human, parent and professional. My favorite concept from the book is that happiness requires having the right kind of challenging problems to solve.

the key is honesty

My key take aways is that intellectual and emotional honesty makes life/career an easier journey. As an Asian male we are brought up and taught to ignore your emotions, endure and focus on the prize. Increasingly with experience and the lessons to of this book, I find acknowledging my strengths and weaknesses, admit to one's current limitations, constantly failing and learning is a sustainable path. thank you Vitalily

Entertaining and thought-provoking

My husband and I listened together on a road trip. Loved the book. We really liked the format of being non-sequential. I will certainly pick chapters to read again. I’m also inspired to write … maybe just journal for now. I’m recommending this book to everyone.

I love the structure of the book!

This book gave me countless lessons on work, family, creativity, and courage. The way it is structured is also very appealing. Thank you for sharing your life with the world, Vitaliy!

Loved this book!

This book is packed with so much wisdom!

Soul in the game is the ultimate guide to living your life in harmony. It offers so many tools and mental models, and examples from Greek stoics to classical music composers.

Vitaliy uses the book itself to demonstrate its main concept by putting his own soul in the game of writing.

And above all it’s just fun to listen to!
