The Anatomy of Success by Nicolas Darvas (the author of How I Made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market)

Was disappointed at first because I thought it would talk about stocks. When you switch gears and take it for what it is, which is a self help book it’s quite good.

What I liked most of this book is that it develops a series of rules in a manner similar to a brick wall. Every rule is the base for the next one to apply. As always, Nicolas Darvas offers an entertaining way to describe a rather complex theme.

Price and delivery time were excellent. I was glad to find the book in print and pleased to be able to add it to my collection of Darvas's books.

This book's title reminds me of another book by Prof JK. Galbraith (Harvard University) caled "The Anatomy of Power". However, under close scrutiny, the two books are quite different. Prof Galbraith's book is rigorous and footnoted while Mr Darvas's book is anecdotal and has no footnotes. It does not even have an index. Furthermore, apart from the quotation by Wiliam James before the book starts in earnest, no attempt was made to introduce further quotations to illuminate his chapters. However, not all is lost. I find his summary on how to analyse the best possible route, a complete list of rules for achieving the success goal, his summary of how to hold on to the success we already have and his 7 basic steps to assume lasting success on pages 78, 104,135 and 168 are particularly useful. The rest of the topics he handles are unremarkable. The power of positive selfishess, which is the cornerstone of his approach has been handled much better elsewhere. I would recommend this book to those who have plenty of time to read.

This whole book is not what I expected. He is writing stories about his life.And it is a big mistake from your side, I could not click to view to see what is the subject in this book.I would not by it.Is it possible to send it back?Thank you.

If you liked Darvas' "How I made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market," don't bother with this book. It is a disappointing litany of self-evident traits that Darvas observes as being important in order to succeed. There's nothing of interest here, and it's not very well written. My tip for success: Don't waste your money on this book.

Great book

ダーバスの本を全部読みたいと思って購入した一冊。人生の成功も、相場の成功も敵を知り己を知り準備をして反省修正改善を怠りなく精勤勤勉すれば成功しますよという話。英語が苦手な自分が流し読みで、おおまかにくくった所そんな印象の本でした。
