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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Coates\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior research fellow in neuroscience and finance at the University of Cambridge.
