    Would love to come from South Africa. This country is suffering a succession of leadership crises in politics and corporate governance which can be better understood a contagion of Hubris. But the currency exchange rate is going to make it very costly. Any possibility for sponsorship? I would be happy to contribute my study of Cecil John Rhodes as a text book case of someone who acquired the personality disorder, with devastating consequences. See this article for a taste. http://www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2015-04-02-when-rhodes-falls-will-conscience-and-consciousness-rise-in-its-place/#.V_DuwuB97IU,

      Thank you for getting in touch John. Unfortunately, we can’t offer sponsorship. I have passed your article on to Lord Owen who may find Rhodes and interesting candidate for Hubris Syndrome. If you would like to provide a link to your study, we could consider adding it to our list of resources, though I have to say we prefer peer-reviewed work. Regards
