However, with the gaining popularity of neuroscience research, and for our purposes, neuroeconomic research, more and more traders and active investors are beginning to realize the the greater importance of not what we do but why we do what we do.\u00a0 The insights gained from the study of our behavior\u00a0 (why we do what we do) has the potential to take our trading to another level, a level very few attain mainly because most of us have been looking in the wrong place.\u00a0 We have been looking for what\u00a0can increase our success (e.g., better technical tools), when we should be looking for why greater success is so elusive (e.g., our flawed thinking).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';\">Although most of the following books do not mention\u00a0stock investing\u00a0specifically the principles discussed are vitally important to the high level of success that most of us seek to attain in the stock market.\u00a0 The question then becomes not \u201cwhat\u00a0are your favorite stock trading books?\u201d but \u201cwhat books most influenced your thinking?\u201d\u00a0 The follow up question then becomes \u201care you willing to put forth the same amount of time (if not much more) to the study of your thinking as you have to the study of your charts?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';\">The following is a very short list of books to get\u00a0you started on your road to rediscovery.\u00a0 Warning:\u00a0 you may find that your thinking stinks but this is the first sign that you recognize your need to change.\u00a0 In return, a positive change has the ability to enhance your trading success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Neuroeconomics-Decision-Paul-W-Glimcher\/dp\/0123741769\" target=\"_blank\">Neuroeconomics: Decision Making and the Brain<\/a>\u00a0 (Paul W.
