Owning and running my own business, I like almost anything that has to do with business and entrepreneurship.  It's the kinda thing that I not only learn from, but is actual enjoyment for me - win/win!One area I honestly don't spend that much time reading or learning in, however, is the financial game.I'd heard a ton about "forex" online, albeit usually it was tied to some get-rich quick scheme, or some program to sell forex training materials to others (think the "make money online" people).I was very surprised - and happy - when I realized that Alan's book wasn't that way.Instead, Alan sits down and takes the overall concept of forex and puts it into terms that pretty much anyone can understand.He starts out with basic terms and definitions, going slowly, but deliberately, through everything so that you feel like you're actually learning something - not dropping into a university economics class where you're totally lost in terminology.Alan's teaching style progresses from there, weaving you through the ins and outs of forex - enough information to get you started and make some of your own decisions.He doesn't promise any sort of wild claims and even says early on that most people probably don't have any business jumping into the forex market, as they don't know what they're doing.However, if you're brand new to forex, have enough self-discipline to not go crazy, and to teach yourself a few things first, Alan's book is a great place to start.
