Reviews

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 A 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
