Bestselling Book from Jerry Mark Fish Reveals Success Philosophy for Navigating Personal and Professional Challenges in Uncertain Times

By: Authority Press Wire
[NEW YORK.] Anxiety and stress at home and at work is not a new problem, but it shows no signs of getting better.

A 2024 poll conducted by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) found that US adults are feeling as anxious as ever. In 2024, 43% of adults said they feel more anxious this year than last year. That’s up from 37% in 2023, and 32% in 2022.

And, for high-achieving professionals, the lack of a process or system for working through and overcoming their personal and professional challenges only adds to a general sense of stress and overwhelm.

“The past few years, marked by the pandemic, conflicts, and significant social and political upheavals, have presented unprecedented challenges,” says Jerry Mark Fish, a Chartered Leadership Fellow at The American College and a former Managing Partner and Vice President for a Fortune 100 Financial Services Company. He is the bestselling author of The Black Dot Philosophy: A Strategic Roadmap for Conquering Life’s Toughest Challenges! “There’s a growing need for ways to cope with the emotional toll these challenges take.”

Fish understands firsthand what it takes to turn obstacles into opportunities. He experienced his personal and professional rock bottom after a series of personal and professional tsunamis: bankruptcy, a painful divorce, losing custody of his child, deep depression, and the untimely loss of close family members.

“The Black Dot Philosophy became my lifeline,” Fish says. “It helped me not only to survive, but to thrive, during the worst moments of my life.” Fish went on to create a fulfilling personal life and seven-figure income just a few short years later.

Today, a man on a mission, Fish works with other professionals and business owners as an elite coach and keynote speaker to bring his proven process of The Black Dot Philosophy to the world. In his book, Fish reveals a framework for addressing external challenges, as well as the internal, emotional struggles that come with them. “I want to inspire professional and business owners to challenge themselves to believe and embrace the idea that anything is possible,” Fish says. “My passion is to share this strategic roadmap to conquer life’s toughest challenges.”

“Jerry Fish is one of the best inspirational leaders I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with during my 25-year career in the investments industry,” says Todd Harris, Director, Asset Transfer Team, The Vanguard Group. “Jerry can deliver results in any environment, for any stated purpose or mission, because his values for personal and professional development are transferable across any enterprise.”

Readers of The Black Dot Philosophy also give the book positive reviews. One reader writes, “An exceptional book with easy-to-implement advice on how to handle life’s daily personal and professional challenges. No one said life would be easy, but having this lifeline as a guide has helped me change my mindset towards positivity and joy.”

Fish writes: “My hope is that this book serves as a resource for you to find strength within yourself, to transform your challenges into stepping stones for a more fulfilled and purposeful life.”

Jerry Mark Fish is a bestselling author, coach, keynote speaker, and founder of The Black Dot Philosophy, Inc. Fish is a Chartered Leadership Fellow at The American College and a former Managing Partner and Vice President for a Fortune 100 Financial Services Company. With nearly four decades of experience in the financial services industry, Fish inspires professionals and business owners to challenge themselves to believe that anything is possible.
