Nick Leeson tells his remarkable story post Rogue Trader and being responsible for the biggest financial scandal of the last century - including his four and a half years in a gang-ridden Singapore jail, the break-up of his marriage, dealing with cancer and recovering to begin a new life.
Through a series of conversations with renowned psychologist Ivan Tyrrell, Leeson's story and behaviour is related in ways common to us all, though were hugely magnified in his case.
Part autobiography, part practical self-help guide for surviving stress, through a series of no-holds barred interviews, and with Nick's story as the backbone of the book, eminent psychologist Ivan Tyrrell examines areas of stress common to us all but which were magnified in Leeson's case.
Devoid of psychobabble, Tyrrell's clear scientific analysis looks at Leeson's method of combating extreme circumstances to recover from illness and despair.
