Hello everyone! I'm Leandro Marcon. I'm a corporate lawyer by day, but I spend my free time writing.

Back in 2008, I had a chance encounter that marked me so deeply I knew I had to share it. After years of reflecting on it, I finally published the story last month.

The book is a work of fiction heavily inspired by these real-world events.

Here is a quick synopsis:

In 1948, a newborn is adopted by his aunt and grows up in Boston. He goes on to study Economics at Harvard and becomes a highly successful, visionary venture capitalist. However, his own blind ambition gets him fired. Blinded by pride and refusing to take a job below his standards, he spirals downward until he ends up homeless on the streets.

Then comes 2008. He crosses paths with a young man who is completely lost and searching for meaning in life. They only talk for 30 minutes, but that single conversation changes both of their lives forever.

The book is now available on Kindle Unlimited! I would love to hear your thoughts if you check it out.

Are there any volunteer psychology student who would like to read my book and analyze the main character? This is the story of a 60-year-old homeless man who was adopted as a baby by his aunt, but only discovered he was adopted at the age of 10 (he discovered it on his own).

After that, he isolated himself in his own world, studied Economics at Harvard, had great professional success in Boston, but when ambition led him to lose his job and he couldn't find something better or up to his level, he ended up living on the streets.

The book is a work of fiction based on real events.

Title: I'm Not Crazy! The Story of Alcide

Author: Leandro Marcon

Price: $ 0,00

It’s based on a real story of a man who was adopted under unusual (and troubling) circumstances, almost like he was “sold” as a child, and how that shaped everything that came after.

I’m curious how others here interpret his early life and whether you think those beginnings influenced the path his life took.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
