This is a book you owe it to yourself to read。 Vitaliy Katsenelson writes from his soul and his readers benefit。 I have been reading his writing for almost a year now and still look forward to each piece。 His writing makes you feel comfortable， is easy to read， and leaves you wanting to improve。 What more could you ask for。 Do yourself a favor and read this book。 You will be glad you did。

Soul In The Game was a surprise to me in how sharing lessons from one's life can be so profoundly powerful。 Based on his writing， I would consider that a casual conversation with Vitaliy would be one of those rare moments where you leave the encounter a fundamentally better， or at least wiser， person for speaking with him。 This is fairly light and easy reading but don't let that fool you—there are plenty of insightful takeaways to be found within。 Very well written and quite relatable， Soul In T Soul In The Game was a surprise to me in how sharing lessons from one's life can be so profoundly powerful。 Based on his writing， I would consider that a casual conversation with Vitaliy would be one of those rare moments where you leave the encounter a fundamentally better， or at least wiser， person for speaking with him。 This is fairly light and easy reading but don't let that fool you—there are plenty of insightful takeaways to be found within。 Very well written and quite relatable， Soul In The Game is worth your time。 。。。more

I really enjoyed Vitaliy's new book Soul in the Game。 It is a compilation of essays。 The first part is about his early life in Soviet Russia and his early years as an emigrant in the USA。 The second part is about stoicism。 The whole book is written in an engaging， easy to read manner。 I liked the honest， thoughtful and passionate advices on parenting， meditation， Stoic philosophy and daily life。 I really enjoyed Vitaliy's new book Soul in the Game。 It is a compilation of essays。 The first part is about his early life in Soviet Russia and his early years as an emigrant in the USA。 The second part is about stoicism。 The whole book is written in an engaging， easy to read manner。 I liked the honest， thoughtful and passionate advices on parenting， meditation， Stoic philosophy and daily life。 。。。more

Seeds for Explorers of every descriptionIf we are wise we choose problems that merit persistent effort and exploration， so that our work can draw from within and outside of us previously unguessed stories， shapes， colors， and tones from which will gradually emerge a life resembling an artistic composition， one never， as Karl Popper declared in Unended Quest， ended。 I love explorers of all kinds， and this book I would give to any of them， expecting each to find something of value。 The author kind Seeds for Explorers of every descriptionIf we are wise we choose problems that merit persistent effort and exploration， so that our work can draw from within and outside of us previously unguessed stories， shapes， colors， and tones from which will gradually emerge a life resembling an artistic composition， one never， as Karl Popper declared in Unended Quest， ended。 I love explorers of all kinds， and this book I would give to any of them， expecting each to find something of value。 The author kindly and generously， invites us to hear a portion of his own emerging life composition。 If Karl Popper were alive I would dare give Soul in the Game to him and would consider the risk of doing so a part of my own adventure。 One more thing: Vitaliy’s book makes me smile a lot。 。。。more

A beautiful blend of wisdom reinforced by nuggets of personal experience。 The author’s candid vulnerability allows the reader to relate and emulate the stories of historical figures who lived exemplary lives before us but who in turn had their own vices and tribulations。 Vitaly’s delivery and self deprecating humour makes this crafty work a must read for any lover of learning。 I can see myself picking up this book again down the line to reinforce some life principles and core values。

Here's a book that made me feel like I was part of another man 's life。 I have never been so drawn into a book while reading it as I was with the whole narrative of "The Soul in the Game " like one watching a movie。 But more importantly is his enthusiasm， the will and the determination to survive against all odds and discovering himself each step of the way and his purpose in life。 ---Anyanegbu Chukwunweike Michael， Minister， His Word in Our Hearts Ministry Here's a book that made me feel like I was part of another man 's life。 I have never been so drawn into a book while reading it as I was with the whole narrative of "The Soul in the Game " like one watching a movie。 But more importantly is his enthusiasm， the will and the determination to survive against all odds and discovering himself each step of the way and his purpose in life。 ---Anyanegbu Chukwunweike Michael， Minister， His Word in Our Hearts Ministry 。。。more

“Soul in the Game” is a refreshing and unique book that is both personal and global。 Vitaliy’s writing style is easy to follow and appealing， with chapters broken down into brief snippets that are easy to digest and allow the reader to knock off a little at a time。 His background as a Russian émigré is interesting， and his assimilation into American society and business from a standing start as a young adult is both inspirational and aspirational。There are many relatable entries in this book tha “Soul in the Game” is a refreshing and unique book that is both personal and global。 Vitaliy’s writing style is easy to follow and appealing， with chapters broken down into brief snippets that are easy to digest and allow the reader to knock off a little at a time。 His background as a Russian émigré is interesting， and his assimilation into American society and business from a standing start as a young adult is both inspirational and aspirational。There are many relatable entries in this book that range the gamut from diet discipline to interacting successfully with people and their wide range of human emotions。 I have no doubt Vitaliy’s skill as a storyteller lends itself to his success as an investment manager， and he offers a good balance of advice that features both humility and obvious skill that would serve anyone well。It is very hard to maintain an honest passion for everything we touch in life， but Vitaliy’s words will resonate with any parent， traveler， investor， student， and entrepreneur。 At the same time， wise counsel about learning to not dwell on things in life we cannot control that is featured in the section on “stoicism” is alone worth the price of admission。 A great value for the $28。99 price tag！ 。。。more

This well-researched page-turner is a compendium of practical and philosophical advice （Seneca， Marcus Aurelius， Epictetus， among the best-known） for leading a sane life in a world that has other plans。 It is chock-full of family anecdotes that were written with humor， heart， and humility。 I whole-heartily recommend this book and will give copies to my teenage twins， with hopes they read it while they are young。

I retired ten years ago from a 45-year career that involved research and writing。 I wish I had this book sooner。 There is so much in Vitaliy’s life that I can relate to， from his roots in Eastern Europe， to the impressive insightfulness of his children （and now my grandchildren）。 His views on the subconscious mind， brain health， visualization， maximizing use of time， adding value to the world， and achieving a meaningful life are relevant to any career。I put off starting reading， thinking I neede I retired ten years ago from a 45-year career that involved research and writing。 I wish I had this book sooner。 There is so much in Vitaliy’s life that I can relate to， from his roots in Eastern Europe， to the impressive insightfulness of his children （and now my grandchildren）。 His views on the subconscious mind， brain health， visualization， maximizing use of time， adding value to the world， and achieving a meaningful life are relevant to any career。I put off starting reading， thinking I needed a large block of time。 Once I started it took me less than two days。 It easily kept me continuing reading to the end。 。。。more

The author’s insight into living your best life is profound。 Soul in the Game was written over a number of years which added so much depth as we witness his life as a father， husband and even as an adult son himself。 He tells of his personal growth through his work relationships， family relationships， creativity and hobbies。 I loved his wit and wisdom！
