How Risk Taking Transforms Us, Body and Mind Former Wall Street trader turned Cambridge neuroscientist John Coates explains what happens to our minds and bodies when we take risks, specifically financial risks. By analyzing the behavior of stock-market traders, Coates shows how our hormones influence our daily lives and the risks we take. When you understand how hormones play a critical role in your everyday life, you can learn how to better handle stress and make better decisions. Through The Hour Between Dog and Wolf, Coates aims to explain the bubbles and crashes of the stock market concerning our physiology and biochemical processes. In the end, you’ll learn that the key lessons can apply to more than just trading on the market floor. As you read, you’ll learn whether or not you can rely on your gut feelings, why more women should work in the financial world, and how testosterone negatively impacts a man's risk-taking.
