Description
Jonathan Ford's memoir offers a candid and deeply personal account of his struggles with severe depression and anxiety, set against the backdrop of his career in oil trading. Born into a troubled family life, Ford chronicles his experiences of childhood trauma, marital strife, and professional failure, which nearly led to financial ruin. Through his story, Ford sheds light on the murky world of oil trading, drawing on his first-hand experience working for prominent companies such as Vitol and BP. He shares fascinating anecdotes from his time in the industry, including insights into the Enron era. Despite facing numerous setbacks, Ford's love for his four children remains a constant source of strength. This memoir provides valuable insight into the complexities of mental health, the challenges of career change, and the resilience required to overcome adversity.
