About the Book

The adventurer, financier and philanthropist offers an insider's look at risk management in this personal guide to risk-taking in life and business. As the founder of Caribbean Capital & Consultancy and a former general partner of Bear Sterns, Michael E. Tennenbaum knows a thing or two about taking risks and winning big. In this unique and insightful volume, he shares his views on risk through stories of high-stakes deals and creative financial innovations, as well as anecdotes about riding in a nuclear submarine and literally swimming with sharks. Tennenbaum also shares strategies for using risk to seize opportunities, manage mistakes, and give back to one's community. His personal tales take readers inside Bear Sterns, the Smithsonian Institution, Harvard Business School, and the Joffrey Ballet, among other firms and cultural institutions. Through it all, Tennenbaum demonstrates how to reach greater heights of performance, achievement, and contentment through embracing risk.

Review :
"Risk: Living On The Edge pulls out all the stops to entertain and educate...to set the record straight and teach people about the countless variables of risk management. Risk contains a whole sea of knowledge ... of risk management and risk taking, with sharp examples of what and what not to do, as well as how to stay in it and maintain it. A fantastic read." -- Vents Magazine "One of the finest books I've read in 2019..." -- IMAAI (Independent Music and Arts, Inc.) "The vast amount of knowledge presented in Risk: Living on the Edge is enough to fortify even the foremost other existing authorities on the subject. ... Readers will come away schooled and very entertained. (It is) a superior detailed run through the trade of risk itself to descriptions of the vast experience of a true adventurist and analyst. The accounts are massively fortified with strategic ideas. There are no punches pulled. Highly recommended." -- The Indie Source "If you don't live on the edge, you are using up too much space. Michael Tennenbaum is the epitome of this approach and shows us all how to live a full, successfully productive life by always going to the edge." --Franz Weber, six-time consecutive World Speed Skiing Champion "Innovators see opportunity in doing things differently. But to be successful, they have to understand risk. Michael Tennenbaum's Risk is chock full of examples of new ways to look at the world. It's a helpful reminder that the key to living on the edge is about asking the right question ns and forcing yourself out of your comfort zone." --Steve Case, chairman, The Case Foundation; co-founder, AOL; and author of The Third Wave, a #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller "You will have so much fun and learn so much about how creative finance and securities markets really work in this candid, action-packed book that you will wish it were much longer." --Charles "Charley" D. Ellis, founder of Greenwich Associates, former Yale University investment committee chair, director of The Vanguard Group, and author of Winning the Loser's Game "This is for sure an exciting, interesting, and important book to read. It traces the unusually rich lifetime experiences of Michael Tennenbaum. This life of his that stands as such a towering positive example of what one good person can accomplish in this life. This special book presents an outstanding learning experience for all of us." --John H. McArthur, Dean Emeritus, Harvard Business School
