In your hands is the manual for raising children. Who says you can't be professionally successful and a good parent? Stop compromising. Satisfying work and a happy family? Yes, you can have it all. Chris Efessiou is the innovative, brazen mentor that every working parent needs. As an astute business leader, Chris learned early on that the skills he acquired in the boardroom transitioned seamlessly to the family room. Leading by example, mentoring, team building, mutual respect, accountability and trust are strategies that are equally effective when dealing with employees or assertive teens.

Chris candidly shares his stories about raising his daughter to show how he was able to employ his business savvy to navigate the world of preadolescent years, and how you can do the same. No matter where you are in your parenting, the age of your children, or your present relationship with them, CDO Chief Daddy Officer will teach you how to apply the principals that guide the most successful business minds to raise happy, productive, well-adjusted, unentitled, successful adults who will want an ongoing loving relationship with their parents.

In one word: egregious. Damn It Feels Good to Be a Banker is a Wall Street epic, a war cry for the masses of young professionals behind desks at Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, and Private Equity shops around the world. With chapters like "No. We do not have any 'hot stock tips' for you," "Mergers are a girl's best friend," and "Georgetown I wouldn't let my maids' kids go there," the book captures the true essence of being in high finance. DIFGTBAB thematically walks through Wall Street culture, pointing out its intricacies: the bushleagueness of a Men's Warehouse suit or squared-toe shoes, the power of 80s pop, and the importance of Microsoft Excel shortcut keys as related to ever being able to have any significant global impact. The book features various, vivid illustrations of Bankers in their natural state (ballin'), and, in true Book 2.0 fashion, numerous, insightful comments from actual readers of the widely popular website LeveragedSellOut.com. Thorough and well-executed, it's lens into the heart of an often misunderstood, unfairly stereotyped subset of our society. The view--breathtaking.
