The Brazilian psychiatrist and writer Augusto Cury is in third place in the polls for the presidency of Brazil, having recorded the highest growth among the candidates. Known for his self-help books, Cury built a career as a successful author, with works that became bestsellers in Brazil and several countries.

With an estimated fortune of 40 million euros, Cury is the candidate with the highest growth in voting intentions, according to the most recent polls. His campaign has been based on his image as a doctor and mental health specialist.

His transition from self-help book author to political candidate represents a significant change in Cury's career, who for years dedicated himself to writing works on intelligence and personal development. This change has attracted the attention of Brazilian political analysts.
