Cool heads will prevail
16 Oct 1999
Format:Paperback
This is a sweet book and Thomas Basso is a very friendly writer. His wisdom will help you counteract a most vexatious flaw of human nature, ie getting overfocused and overcommitted to a particular opinion. He gives ways of taking possible alternate viewpoints on a situation so that you can generate a balanced psychology. The benefit is flexibility of action. Helps avoid sticking with losing propositions and helps you move into winning ones. I dont think anyone could lose by getting acquainted with his thoughts. Good man. Thanks Tom.

Liked Schwager interview better ; here is why i did buy
6 Dec 2004
Format:Paperback
Most of book is very , very basic;
but I figured the Schwager interview was so helpful,
couldnt lose much. William Eng books give better bang for buck.
Its a keeper for me because of;
Info in [a]Chapter on ''Beware of the 10 year track record'',
[z]Solomon like comparison cartoon in ''Beware of the 10 year track record''.
