In this new book, One Day, When I am Younger, Jacob Burak examines in his witty and lucid way the motives and decision-making processes that we overlook when we routinely reflect upon our lives. Based on the latest research in behavioural science, a profound social awareness and the life experience of a successful businessman who learned primarily from his mistakes, Burak tries to find answers to the questions that test our lives, such as:

Why do negative events affect us more than positive events? Does it pay to trust people? How does our rivalry with others help in defining ourselves? And many others.
