About this listen

Trading is a stressful occupation with mental and emotional traps on every side. Our instincts drive us to self-destruction: holding plummeting stocks in the hope of a sudden recovery, or obsessing over the minute-to-minute movements of our holdings. What if there were a trader who knew how to avoid these traps and could teach us to trade from a place of inner calm and peace of mind?

Peter Castle has been a successful trader in financial markets for almost 30 years. He also happens to be a Zen monk. Peter’s unique perspective gives him unrivaled insight into how the wisdom of Zen can empower us to master our minds, and so achieve success in the markets.

Many guides to using Zen avoid clear prescriptions and rely instead on cryptic quotes. In The Zen Trader, Peter demystifies both trading and Zen using decades of experience, sharing dozens of real-life examples, and explaining clearly the systems that enable mastery of both disciplines.

He teaches us how to limit distraction, focus attention, detach from problematic emotions, be true to ourselves, and embrace the unlimited opportunities that exist in our professional and personal lives.

Following Peter’s wisdom, you, too, can become a Zen trader.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great mindset for traders

As someone who’s been trading for 14 months and blown up my account 3 times in the period, this was a refreshing reminder to keep it simple and stick to a system.

No accompanying pdf?

Love this audiobook, but there are references to charts and figures that haven’t been provided with the audio version. Other trading books offer an accompanying pdf for reference, but it seems this one did not. Would be 5 stars otherwise.

Is that so

Great book for those who love meditation and trading. I always looked at them as two different things to do but this book highlights they go hand and hand.

Excellent no fluff true zen trader focused book

No fluff, straight to the "secret" sauce. Thanks for staying on topic with zen teachings. I will certainly do more research and apply what I was taught in this book into my own trading as well as read your recommended books you listed at the end. It took me nearly 3 years into my trading career to realize that mindset is everything. Not an overly complicated AI learning top-secret automated trading system.


The narrator paused a lot, sounded like he was reading a bit slow to me. The audio during one of the chapters was very low so I had to turn up the volume to max. But once that chapter ended, the volume was way too loud which was just annoying to deal with. Other than those 2 things, very good narration.
