Dr Jack Singer PhD has released The Financial Advisor’s Ultimate Stress Mastery Guide to help combat a gowing number of instances of PSTD, as well as stress relating to increasing financial services regulation.

“This guide teaches advisers how to build resilience and emotional strength to permanently resist stress and burnout, regardless of inevitable stressors they face in their career,” said a statement from the author.

“The guide explains how to proactively build psychological immunity to stress, maintain optimal health, and successfully draw high value clients into their practices and retain them!”

Adviser Asset Solutions managing director and ifa blogger Brian Boggs offered his real life experiences of running a financial advice practice as a case study for the book.

“Dr Jack Singer has a great insight and understanding of how to deal with the stress associated with change, especially for advisers,” Mr Boggs said. “This book should be a must read for every adviser around the world.”

    I can understand why the book is required…..no-one In Wall St took any personal responsibility, neither did any of the thousands of failed fund managers, nor the margin lenders, or banks who over lent…..nope. Our beloved ASIC hid under a rock until the worst was over. The financial adviser was hit with margin calls, altered LVRs with no notice, funds pulling the shutters down, clients panicking, media commentators panicking…..and then a big dump truck backs up and tips a few tonne of rubbish regulation on the advisers driveway.

    Sounds excellent. This is a serious in the financial planner community. Thanks for letting us know about it. I look forward to reading it. But I can’t find it anywhere. Please let us know when it is released and where we can buy a copy. Cheers

    Major stress is dealing with Bank credit officers and outdated policies and bank pressure on valuers to compare new homes with secondhand property based on 3 month sales periods. The banks administratively can not even control and sell properties within 9 months from default and they create undue pressure for low value mortgagee sales. Get rid of these practices and everyone’s stress levels are reduced.
