What happens to it when you make or lose a lot of money? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this startling book, physiologist and former Wall Street trader John Coates vividly illustrates what happens to your body when you engage in risk taking. You transform into a different person, a change Coates refers to as \"the hour between dog and wolf.\" He tells a gripping story of a group of traders caught in a bull market and then a crash. As the excitement builds he takes us inside the traders' bodies to see the biology of risk taking at work, a biology shared by athletes, politicians, soldiers - anyone who ventures beyond their safety zone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCoates also discusses how men and women excel at different types of risk; how the stress of failure damages our health; and how we can train our bodies so that they help rather than hinder our risk taking. Revealing the biology behind bubbles and crashes, \u003ci\u003eThe Hour Between Dog and Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new and surprising light on issues that affect us all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Coates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143123408","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44147115622445,"sku":"9780143123408","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_608b5f35-43f7-424a-9b7c-e789533562b1.jpg?v=1757181990","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/the-hour-between-dog-and-wolf-how-risk-taking-transforms-us-body-and-mind-9780143123408","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
