One of the things that I love about the book, the one thing is he really stresses the importance of the questions that you ask. And a lot of times, especially when we're struggling with something, as most traders are, you're asking yourself questions like, God, why is this so tough? Why can't I just stick to my system? Why do I keep doing these things that are costing me money? And the thing is, those kind of questions are not helpful. They're not. I mean, I know it seems like you're trying to get to the root of the problem, but the thing is, you're asking questions like, you know, why am I screwing this up? Or, you know, why am I such a loser? Well, your subconscious is going to produce answers for those kind of questions. So make sure that you're asking questions that are actually going to produce beneficial information that you can use to make things better. You know, like, instead of, you know, why is this so difficult? Just say, man, how can I approach this differently to get better results? Or, how can I do better? How can I become a better trader? Instead of, you know, I'm a loser? So the thing is, make sure that you're asking good questions that actually help you and are talking to your subconscious properly.
