Overview
This two-book collection pairs two very different but equally compelling reads: a true story of Wall Street trading genius and a global exploration of purposeful living. The Complete TurtleTrader unpacks the experiment that turned ordinary people into millionaire traders, while The Happiness of Pursuit challenges readers to design a life-defining quest of their own. Together they make a thoughtful gift set for readers fascinated by strategy, discipline, and the pursuit of meaning beyond routine.
About the Books
The Complete TurtleTrader tells the true story of commodities trader Richard Dennis, who bet his partner that trading success could be taught rather than born of natural talent. Dennis trained a diverse group nicknamed "the Turtles" in a rules-based trading system, and author Michael W. Covel traces their journey from novices to millionaires, exploring the discipline, risk management, and psychology behind their results.
The Happiness of Pursuit examines what happens when people commit to an ambitious, self-defined quest. Chris Guillebeau, who set out to visit every country before turning thirty-five, gathers stories from adventurers, artists, and everyday people who chose a big goal and pursued it with steady commitment. The book explores the deeper structure of meaningful quests: how they are chosen, the obstacles that arise, and the transformation that follows. Read together, these titles explore commitment from two different angles — the trading floor and the open road.
About the Author
Michael W. Covel is an author and trend-following expert who has written extensively on systematic trading and investor psychology.

Why You'll Love This Set
