The Trader’s Path to Inner Wisdom: An Interview with Author Ronal Shah

I write for two main reasons. The first is for clarity for myself. If I am swimming in some ideas or realisations that I need to structure, to clarify, I like to write to provide that lucidity for myself. The second is to allow others to access what I have learnt, if they wish. Sharing what I find valuable in my path of life and serving others, raising consciousness, is a powerful driver for my writing.

What do you write about?
I usually write to initially clarify my thoughts. So I write about my experiences in life, my thoughts and how they fit together. If there was a theme about my writing through the years it would be ‘how do I raise consciousness in the real world’.

Do you have a specific writing style?
I aspire to write like a combination of a clear thinking philosopher and a poet. I always want simplicity and clarity in my writing and also for the writing to evoke rich experience and juicy emotion beyond just a dry presentation of the words.

What are obstacles that come in the way of writing?
In writing this book I ended up doing a lot of inner work myself. Firstly, when clarifying my ideas, I had to further integrate the idea of success and spirituality in myself. Secondly, when it came time to publish, many hesitations came up – what if I am rejected or criticized – which gave another wonderful opportunity to do some self work.

What’s the most memorable thing asked/said by a reader about your work?
I find that people find different parts of the book interesting depending on their focus. For me the core of the book is that you can be a great trader and improve your spirituality at the same time. One reader, Simon, was excited by the part that went into the different types of trader fears. To me that was a subsection but him that was eye opening. Very interesting for me to know that.

How long have you been writing?
I had my first article published in my school philosophy magazine more than 20 years ago. The article was about truth in writing to convey your ideas, rather than using writing to pump up your ego and hide behind opaque phrasing.
