Description
The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: Risk-taking, Gut Feelings and the Biology of Boom and Bust In this thought-provoking book, neuroscientist and former Wall Street trader John Coates reveals the surprising connection between the biology of the human brain and the world of high finance. By exploring the impact of risk on the brain, Coates shows how the most primal instincts can influence even the most rational of decisions. The result is a fascinating insight into the forces that drive economic behaviour, and the ways in which our emotions can shape our financial choices. This book offers a fresh perspective on the markets, and may hold the key to understanding the cycles of boom and bust. By understanding the biology behind economic bubbles and crashes, Coates argues that we may be able to stabilise the markets and make more informed decisions. A compelling and insightful read for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology, economics and finance.
