Welcome! I am Dr. Van K. Tharp. I am the founder and president of the Van Tharp Institute and am regarded as an international leader among professional trading coaches and consultants.


I have been helping others become the best trader or investor that they can be since 1982. I offer unique learning strategies, and my techniques for producing great traders are some of the most effective in the field. Over the years I have helped traders overcome problems in areas of system development and trading psychology, and success-related issues such as self-sabotage.

I am also a regular contributor on the Trading Education website. For more of my insights, you can sign up for their free weekly trading newsletter at www.TradingEducation.com.

What does it mean to work on myself regularly?

Q: You wrote that “people who are not working on themselves regularly…”. Please explain what that means and how to go about it (working on myself). Coming from an engineering background, I only have a vague idea what you mean and no real concept of how to go about it. Please elaborate.

A: We have a number of programs for working on yourself available through The Van Tharp Institute and I think these describe the process.

The one that started me in this direction was the 365 daily exercises from A Course In Miracles. I don’t think anyone can go past the first 100 exercises without experiencing a major transformation. A good introduction to the course, and what you might be getting into is Gary Reynards, The Disappearance of the Universe. It’s one of my favorite books.

Other examples include:
1) The Marriage of Spirit. This book is full of exercises to work on yourself.
2) The Peak Performance Course. This course will not only benefit you greatly the first time you read through it, but it can be a continual guide and reminder each time you revisit the information.
3) The Sedona Method Course. I was in the audience in the new recordings. All of these are available through The Van Tharp Institute, although you may have to call in for the Sedona Method materials.

In the Blueprint for Success workshop, I actually give people a sampling of each of the methods so they can decide what is right for them.

There are more that I have mentioned and will mention, but those should get you started in the right direction.
