About the Author

Adam Abidi holds a Master’s degree in Financial Analysis and Portfolio Management. He worked as an investment analyst at a large institutional asset manager in France, where he was involved in real estate investment analysis — evaluating assets, building financial models, and producing investment documentation.

His writing sits at the intersection of two worlds he is deeply fascinated by: institutional finance and the psychology of the mind — Freud, Jung, Kahneman, Thaler. The Rational Mind exists because he couldn’t find a publication that took both seriously at once.
