Arne Hessenbruch’s Summary

I am a father of three and a divorcee. I have lived in six different countries and speak many languages. Most of my adult life I have been an academic, studying the role of science and technology in society, culture, and economic life. I now work as a financial adviser which consists primarily of listening to a client's goals and understanding. This may sound simple but it is not. If successful, the next step, viz. finding solutions correlating all assets, is comparatively easy.
