Description
Book SynopsisNo Finish Line is Meyer Feldberg as his friends and colleagues know him. In his telling, Feldberg’s story—both his successes and his failures—is a lesson plan for how to lead a worthy personal and professional life.
Trade ReviewA warm and beautifully written memoir from one of the leading business school educators of his generation. Not surprisingly, this former Dean of Columbia Graduate School of Business—who transformed the institution into one of the world’s leading business schools—uses the opportunity to distill a series of life lessons relevant to all. At the same time, the memoir shows a humanity that serves as a role model. Particularly moving is the description of how, as Dean of the University of Cape Town's business school, he used his position to fight against apartheid. -- Joseph E. Stiglitz, Columbia University, winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize for Economics
Meyer Feldberg has spent life venturing into new countries and new fields. In
No Finish Line, he shares the lessons of his experiences—and wisdom on living a good and meaningful life. -- Michael R. Bloomberg
