Live the Other Way

You can stop the world and change direction. If you do it before it's too late, you might avoid the collapse. Either way — the person who comes out the other end is worth it.

About the Author

City man. Derivatives builder. Art seller. Author.

Farz Nazari spent his career in the City of London — eventually becoming one of the earliest key figures inside what would grow into a billion-pound financial firm. He wore every hat: legal review, regulatory oversight, global expansion, operational architecture. He helped build a global online derivatives platform from the ground up.

Then, at the height of it, something quietly broke. Not from the outside — from the inside. The success was real. The misalignment was realer. The collapse, when it came, was total. Career. Income. Identity. Everything built to prove something.

"I was always busy, always in motion. I convinced myself that if I kept going, I'd outrun whatever was trying to catch me. But it caught me anyway."

What followed was not a clean pivot. It was grief, silence, and the slow, uncomfortable work of rebuilding from the ground up — not to recover what was lost, but to build something worth keeping.

That rebuilding was rooted in faith. In the belief that what you create should stand for something — that business, at its best, is not about extraction or spectacle, but about genuine value, genuine people, and a foundation that holds. Everything since has been built on that premise. Tangbls, Take Markets, the Tangbls Podcast — none of it built for the game. All of it built for good.

This book is not a comeback story. It is a map for anyone standing at the edge of a life that no longer fits — and the quiet conviction that what comes next, if you do the work, will be better in every way that actually matters.

Peek Inside
The Book

Live the
Other Way

A treatise on how to stop the world and change direction. Written by someone who actually did it — not elegantly, not on schedule — but with total honesty.

This book does not promise you won't fall. It promises the person on the other side of the fall is better. Better values. Better instincts. More real.

If you sense the misalignment — something not quite right beneath a life that looks fine from the outside — this is the conversation you haven't had yet.
