A must-read for all investors. Block out the news and hype around share market investing and develop a sensible, long-term, foolproof plan.The term 'Ulysses contract' is inspired by mythological hero Ulysses who, while sailing past an island inhabited by sirens, ordered his crew to block their ears with wax and tie him to the mast of the ship.

Our genome has not changed in over 45,000 years, but the world has changed enormously and there are multiple mismatches with modern life.

Now, most of us spend most of our day sitting on our backsides, and more than 50% of our diet is made up of ultra-processed foods that hijack our brains' rewards systems while making us overweight and sick.Exposure to cold and heat caused our ancestors to upregulate critical stress response genes, which made us more resilient. Now, our thermoneutral environments are making us soft.We used to live in small tribal communities where everyone had a role and purpose.
