5.0 out of 5 starsNow I Know the Answer
By Louis Meltzer on May 21, 2010
Format: Hardcover
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

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Modern Day How to Win Friends and Influence People
By Matthew Barash on May 23, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
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.

By gigi-lily on January 9, 2011

I was disappointed by this book. Got less than 1/2 way through and was bored, so stopped reading. If you are interested in his life story - then this is for you. As for the meat - there is not much here.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Book, Great Advice
By N. Crudele on May 18, 2010
Format: Hardcover
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Important Book
By jo on May 31, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Anthony Scaramucci's new book "Goodbye Gorden Gekko....." is not just a fascinating inside look at the psyches of some the people who succeed on Wall Street, and not just easy fun summer reading - although it is both of these. Actually it's an IMPORTANT book - it's a plea and a pathway for all of us to learn how to be both successful and happy and do it with all the right values. As a psychiatrist and as Board Chair of the Center for Social and Emotional Education I've spent my life trying to understand what pushes and pulls us in different directions - and how to give people the tools they need to find their own optimal path. Mr. Scaramucci writes about topics directly related to these core issues - jealousy, self esteem regulation, the balance between teamwork and independence, how to communicate to the people closest to you, the crucial importance of motivation, and good values - like the kind his grandmother taught him (and most of our grandmothers try to teach us). And he writes in a friendly, compelling, funny, self-deprecating way that makes these lessons come alive and makes us laugh - sometimes ruefully and sometimes out loud.
It's a rare book that holds your attention, makes you laugh and still gives you some life changing ideas to take away - this is such a book and you should really read it! George Igel M.D.

5.0 out of 5 starsPersonal and Illuminating
By T. William on May 24, 2010
Format: Hardcover
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn insightful, engaging and fun read
By A. Vale on May 25, 2010
Format: Hardcover
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!

5.0 out of 5 starsGoodbye Gordon Gekko
By Lenny Dendunnen on July 8, 2010
Format: Hardcover
The book is great!! Anthony tries to give some guidance on how to maintain a moral compass while trying to navigate through an ocean of vipers. His stories of the tough-love training program at Goldman are both amusing and insightful. He goes through various stages of his life and his career laughing at his own errors and downplaying his successes, While not explicitly saying so he implies the key is humility. That is, he is no better or no worse than anyone else.
Ego is the root of all evil. He talks about measuring a man's character by looking in their office. Do you see trophies such as photos with celebrities begging you to say "gee you're great!"or photos with family saying simply telling you this guy knows what is important. It says a lot about a man's character I have heard him talk about a sure-fire way of judging a person's character and whether a business (or personal) relationship will prosper or sour. Go to dinner with the person and see how they treat the waiter!!! Great stuff. Anthony says he constantly asks himself "what am I doing wrong and what am I doing right" Simple lessons on staying grounded. He points out that a great deal of success is simply a matter of luck. It doesn't have to come at the expense of others. Luck also tends to favor those who treat others with courtesy and respect.
I knew Anthony in his early 20's as an undergraduate student. He came back into my life professionally two years ago. My first thought was "Anthony, you haven't changed a bit!" Upon reflection, that is not true. You have matured. This book is not a well polished, organized piece of prose. That is as it should be as it comes from the heart. I have recommended and will continue to recommend this book to anyone.
