TIM FERRIS' GREATEST BLOG EVER

For any analyst, associate, VP, MD, etc who is stressed out, anxiety-ridden, depressed or just not in a great head space, please read this. YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND IT WILL GET BETTER. 


For reference, when I was an analyst I always looked for people with a similar situation to me to discuss their mental health. Back when I was in IB I don't think it was talked about at all or nearly as much as it should've been.

Tim Ferris is a great author, interviewer, entrepreneur and all around cool guy. I PROMISE YOU THIS ARTICLE HE WROTE ABOUT HIS OWN STRUGGLES WILL HELP YOU. It certainly helped me.

Be Well and Stay Strong!
