The Ecstatic Stock Market: A Map of Humanity's Future Kindle Edition

The stock market is not just about dollars and cents. It's a reflection of our progress as a species. And now, thanks to the work of David Rasmussen, we have the tools to unlock the underlying power law that drives this progress.

Rasmussen, who has over 30 years of experience in the stock market, has combined his knowledge of chaos theory, math, evolution, game theory, and physics to create a new model of the stock market. This model shows that we are in the grips of a massive, unstoppable bubble. This super bubble is unfolding in a scientifically quantifiable and predictable manner.

The Ecstatic Stock Market presents the evidence to show how science and history have converged in the present to create a clear, relevant, and robust message applicable to every human alive today. This message is that we are on the cusp of a major transformation, and that the stock market is the key to understanding what lies ahead.

If you are interested in planning your investments, your career, and your future, then The Ecstatic Stock Market is an absolute must-read. This fascinating and engaging book will leave you thinking long after you put it down.

Product description

Review

An interesting and engaging book that focuses on a theory of predictable patterns influencing markets. The author writes in a relatable style and covers not only markets but touches on science, literature, art, philosophy, and religion. The book will leave you thinking long after you put it down.


The book itself presents a really interesting theory on stock prices, the public markets, and the world in general. If you're into chaos theory, theoretical physics, and things of that nature, you'll definitely enjoy this one.


This book about the stock market surprised me by being one of the best reads in a long while!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great work!

If you're tired of the stock market feeling like a complicated puzzle with no clear answers, then this book is a breath of fresh air. It manages to demystify the mathematical side of investing and presents it in a way that makes sense. Don't expect it to hand you a cheat sheet for the next hot stock, though. Instead, it equips you with the tools to identify patterns that align with your own investment style. It teaches you to think beyond short-term gains and losses, taking into account the various factors that influence market movements. Unlike other stock market books that could put you to sleep, this one actually keeps you engaged from start to finish. 5 stars!

3.0 out of 5 stars thought-provoking journey
Reviewed in Canada on June 30, 2023
The Ecstatic Stock Market, apparently a sequel to the renowned book and movie "A Beautiful Mind," delves deeper into the enigmatic world of Dr. John Forbes Nash, Jr. In the original work, Nash's mind intertwined genuine patterns with his own schizophrenic projections, resulting in a world of pure imagination.

This new installment takes the concept even further. Author David Rasmussen eloquently articulates the interplay of yin and yang, the delicate balance between skill and luck. He deftly weaves these opposing forces, acknowledging the chaotic nature of life's uncertainties. Rasmussen’s words resonate powerfully when he states, "The predictive correlations laid out in this book are potent enough that, in theory, I could eventually own everything if no one else possessed them. Yet, here I am, offering these invaluable tools for the mere price of a book."

Intrigued by the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I embarked on this literary journey. However, much to my surprise, The Ecstatic Stock Market had little association with the stock market or investing. As a reader who typically seeks out financial insights, I found this deviation disconcerting. Nonetheless, it appears that many readers found value in Rasmussen's unique perspective and philosophical musings.

While the book's title may mislead readers into anticipating a deep dive into investment strategies, it instead offers a profound exploration of the human psyche, the delicate dance between order and chaos, and the elusive nature of fortune. Rasmussen's prose is captivating, and his ability to intertwine complex concepts with relatable anecdotes is commendable.

The Ecstatic Stock Market may not fulfill the expectations of those seeking a traditional guide to investing, it presents a thought-provoking journey into the realms of chance, perception, and the human experience. It is a book that challenges conventional thinking and encourages reflection, making it a worthwhile read for those open to exploring the intersections of psychology, philosophy, and finance.

The author attempts to make long-term market predictions based on new-age philosophy and things like the golden ratio. Not a helpful investing book.

I'm a day trader. I really didn't get into long-term investing because I don't trust the companies nor politicians' decisions that are healthy for the economy. However, after reading, I see that it is more a pattern rather than a companies or a politicians performances. This book has a unique way of explaining different patterns in a fun way!

4.0 out of 5 stars Patterns amidst chaos
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023

I enjoyed the broad scope of this book, which extended well beyond the market. Things you can look forward to in this book: song lyrics, adages/quotes/poems, research on space, the cycles of the Earth, history, evolution, Feigenbaum’s constant, chaos, references to nature, technology, etc.

Many patterns are distilled, with the sole difference being the amount of time needed to make said pattern. There’s some fascinating research in this book, but there are some concepts that were over my head and I wish they were better explained, such as bifurcation. Also, if you’re someone such as myself who gets hung up on typos, be forewarned that there’s rogue use of punctuation, fragmented sentences, and some sentences that just had me scratching my head etc.

Here’s one example: “The predictive correlations laid out in this book, are powerful enough, if no one else had them, in theory, I would eventually own everything”. Huh?!

I would’ve given the book 3 stars but there is value in the content if you can get past the grammatical issues.

Stock market investment is typically a game of mathematics, and it is very hard to summarize the patterns and predictions into a solid understandable story. This book does a phenomenal job is explaining the math's behind the stock markets movement in terms of patterns. The book is not going to tell you what stock to buy next, but it will teach you how to find the right patterns that fit your investment style, the book will help you develop a mindset of looking beyond the short term gains and loses, grasping the numerous factors that impact the movement and hopefully leverage that in investment strategy. But more than anything, this is the first book on stock market I know, that will not make you sleep, this is an absolute must read!

This is a very interesting and innovative approach to investing. It presents predictive methods based on graphs, imitating natural processes. It’s impossible to judge whether this method would be effective and how much, but it’s interesting considering it. It contains many graphs and pictures.
