"Unlike any Wall Street story you have ever read."

Jamie Hammond, former Business Editor of AOL and WashingtonPost.com

This is a story of personal experience, although none of what you're about to read comes from a place of perceived accomplishment. I'm not particularly proud of some of the details in this book, but they helped shape the person I am today.

I confused net worth with self-worth.

I didn't know the difference between having fun and being happy.

I looked for validation in the bottom of a bank account, and when I arrived at where I thought I wanted to be, I wanted-and needed-more.

...I never thought I was that guy.

In this stunning personal memoir, founder and CEO of Minyanville Media and former president of Cramer Berkowitz, Todd Harrison narrates his incredible Wall Street story: a tale of rise, fall, and redemption so remarkable that Oliver Stone featured it in his 20th anniversary Wall Street documentary.

Harrison reveals the hidden side of Wall Street: the extreme personalities, the testosterone-driven lifestyles, the euphoria, the despair.and what happens when it's all over.

You'll share a ringside view of the rise of high-stakes finance through the '90s and '00s-and the titanic collapse that followed. You'll also discover what it's really like to partner with Jim Cramer-the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

This is a story you had to live to tell. Harrison lived it and survived to tell it-unforgettably.
