Summary:

Jim Lebenthal learned the bond business at his mother's knee, the movie business at Jack Warner's knee, how to make nature films at Walt Disney's knee, and advertising at David Ogilvy's knee. Now you can learn to build your career at Jim Lebenthal's knee.

Mention real estate, and up pops Trump, Tisch, or Rudin. Think of fashion and you get Lauren, Armani, or Blass. But talk about bonds, and there's Jim Lebenthal, all alone, and unchallenged.

Full of inside stories that will make you grin or even guffaw, he takes you along on his dazzling life. America's most carefree millionaire shares the fun he had battling the establishment as he turned a modest family business into a famous and familiar brand!

Part memoir, and even more a guide to happiness and self-fulfillment in the workplace, Confessions of a Municipal Bond Salesman also reveals exactly how Jim stood Wall Street tradition on its ear. With pages of breezy and entertaining anecdotes, he brings to life priceless insights that can propel a beginner's career...or jump-start a stalled one.
