I will start out by saying that I rarely give "fives" so I won't, so as not to dilute the "five star" ranking. That being said, it was an amazing story of an amazing person. Like Ben Franklin and Harry Truman and other auto-didacts he learned more in the "school of life" than sitting at a desk in a university lecture hall. Notwithstanding, he assembled an incredibly bright and well-schooled group of partners and staffers, including on of my close friends to help run Neuberger Berman. In addition to founding that venerable money management firm, he helped found Neuberger Museum of Art, which opened in 1974 on the Purchase College campus of the State University of New York.

Being an almost lifelong Westchester resident I have frequented that museum. The book finished at age 94. He passed away at an amazing 107 in December 2010. Truly a special book, laden with great life-living advice. One of my fastest reads for a 200-page book, I read it in three and a half days. (
