Produktbeschreibung
This Constant Fight is a gripping roller coaster ride between the highs of mania and the lows of depression. The autobiographical story is set over a twelve year period starting shortly after the new millennium. The author, who at the beginning is a successful businessman, experiences a series of manic psychotic highs that sees him getting into some extra-ordinary situations and meeting several celebrities including Victoria Beckham, the two times Oscar winner Sarah Miles and the celebrated hairdresser Adee Phelan. The mania leads to police detention centres, four sections and four admissions to secure psychiatric wards including two in psychiatric intensive care wards. The highs soon turn to lows and during several episodes of chronic depression he loses all that is dear to him: - His marriage and relationship with his children; His job and career; His financial security ultimately leading to bankruptcy; The new love of his life; His confidence, self-respect and direction. During these lows he travels to Thailand with the intention of committing suicide. This Constant Fight is not only a factual account of one person's battle with manic depression but also a story of love and hate, success and failure, hope and tragedy and the constant and enduring pain that characterises this illness.
Autorenporträt
Simon is at the cutting edge of topics that have the potential to transform the roles of investment professionals. In the future they will need to rethink how they collaborate, and they will need to become adept at integrating their expert professional judgments with mechanic decision-making tools. In the face of an increasingly 'noisy' and demonstrably uncertain world, they will also need to become better at determining what really matters, and at predicting the future.Simon is the founder of Behavioural Finance Australia (BFA). At BFA he provides specialist behavioural finance training and consulting to investment managers, major super funds, financial advisers, and other investment professionals. Simon brings a unique combination of finance and psychology to his clients. He is able to engage teams on the psychological considerations related to sometimes technical financial or investment issues, including making a financial forecast, building a business case, creating a valuation model, negotiating a transaction, or assessing a new project's IRR. Simon is the author of three other books on behavioural finance. His first book, 'Applying Behavioural Finance in Australia', details strategies to identify and overcome various investment decision-making biases. The book broaches some of the topics that are discussed in the current book, but its focus is broader than listed equities teams; it provides strategies that are also relevant for major super funds, asset consultant and family offices.
