This book picks up where most business ethics training leaves off – namely, with an examination of your own psychology and the forces at play in the workplace that can trip you up or even land you in jail – to provide practical guidance for an integrity-infused career in financial services.
Discover what helps financial professionals stay ethical—and the unexpected forces that threaten to derail us.

Why do smart, capable and caring financial professionals sometimes make ethical mistakes? In this groundbreaking work, a seasoned financial services lawyer joins forces with a neuropsychologist to expose the hidden psychological currents and power dynamics that threaten to drive high-stakes ethical failures. Through riveting case studies of real-world frauds and moral crises, they take you beneath the surface of everyday decisions to reveal the invisible forces that can compromise even the most principled professionals.

This isn't abstract ethical theory. It's a practical roadmap that reveals:



How ethical breaches actually occur in real-world scenarios
Why scandals persistently plague financial services
The common psychological blind spots that leave everyone vulnerable
Concrete strategies that will transform integrity from aspiration to deliberate practice

Whether you're a veteran adviser, team leader, or rising professional, this book provides essential tools to build resilience against ethical failure. It will help you safeguard your career, reputation and the integrity of your industry.
