Michelangelo had concealed secrets of math and physics. The frescoes of the Sistine Chapel even hold their fair share of clues to the current whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant.

In this collection of stories, Gabriella Braun shares insights from over twenty years of taking psychoanalysis out of the therapy room and into the sta­ff room. She shows us why a board loses the plot, nearly causes their company to collapse, and how they come through. We see the connection between a headteacher's professional and personal loss. We understand seemingly unfathomable behaviour—why a man lets his organisation push him around, a lawyer becomes paranoid, a team repeatedly creates scapegoats, and founders of a literary agency feud.

Winner of the Golden Spur, Matt Braun writes novels with an unparalleled knowledge of the West.
