Financial advisors and brokers work in high-stress environments, so it's important for them to have insights into their feelings as well as the ability to develop coping mechanisms.

Bullish Thinking finally gives these individuals a guide for surviving and succeeding against the odds in a competitive marketplace. Filled with in-depth insights, strategies, case studies, and expert advice, this book shows brokers how to recognize the warning signs associated with "under the radar" psychological stressors found in their fast-paced environment, and introduces proactive strategies that will help them survive and thrive during even the toughest times.
