Goodbye Gordon Gekko: How to Find Your Fortune Without Losing Your Soul

Goodbye Gordon Gekko is extremely insightful, engaging and fun to read. Filled with great anecdotes, sage advice and wisdom, Anthony's refreshingly honest account of his life's journey and self reflection was impossible to put down from start to finish. Would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about a career on Wall Street, the hedge fund industry or starting a business and you'll probably learn a little more about yourself as well!

Goodbye Gordon Gekko offers a number of lessons for financiers and the financially illiterate, for young and old, for the greedy and the charitable. Scaramucci has a story of great success, but also interesting failures. His discussion of the necessity of failure is appealing, especially in that he lays out his own insecurities for all to see. He mentions one particular dinner with a friend, a former colleague from Goldman, who, in an argument with his wife says, "Well, at least I didn't fail like Anthony." You can imagine being at that dinner and the tinge of pain Scaramucci must have felt--and the mortification his friend must have felt immediately after. The book brims with these kinds of revealing vignettes. If you don't know Scaramucci, you'll feel like an old friend by the time you finish. No ghost writer wrote this one. You'll learn new words, like Windexing; you'll learn to avoid the Evyme Flu (and how to pronounce it). You can't miss. Buy this book.

Scaramucci defies the typical modern finance-world stereotype when it comes to Harvard educated, Wall Street king pins while sharing anecdotes, stories and insight which will benefit any reader looking to manifest their inner entrepreneurial spirit. If you take the advice of Welch in "Winning", the lessons of Carnegie's "How To Win Friends and Influence People" and you apply them to a self made, candid author who writes in a universally understood simplistic way...you find yourself with the makings of a playbook on how to win, how to bounce back from a loss, how to foster, build and cultivate relationships and most of all, how to keep the greater good of your own perspective in the process. Really enjoyed the book, and bet you will too.

President Bill Clinton, Governor Mitt Romney, Mike Milken, Ken Griffin, Maria Bartiromo, David Faber and General Peter Pace along with so many others, why I asked myself would they attend the SkyBridge Investment Conference this year in Las Vegas Nevada. I knew the answer was not fame, notoriety nor fortune because these men and women have these blessings, they came because of Anthony Scaramucci. In Scaramucci's book Goodbye Gordon Gekko, Anthony reveals with raw candor life's little secrets in a way that people of all ages and backgrounds can appreciate. He provides a moral compass for Wall Street professionals who can use a friendly reminder of what in life is truly important. Finally you learn why some of the worlds most accomplished people have chosen to spend time in his company. Great Conference Great Book! Louis

Quick and fun read. This is a great book especially for this time of uncertainty. Scaramucci offers great advice for both life and business in a fun and upbeat way that anyone can relate to (I particularly like the stories about his Nana). Using his own successes and failures to draw from, he shows how you can succeed in life by doing what's right. I highly recommend Goodbye Gordon Gekko, especially for people in the business world and recent college graduates.
