Before you get offended, consider this: A former Wall Street trader spent decades proving that we’re all delusional about success, failure, and everything in between.

- 🎯 Why dentists are richer than rock stars – The unsexy truth about wealth
- 🎯 How evolution fooled our brains – We’re wired to see patterns that don’t exist
