Title: Derman Meets Corporate America
Product review: Derman seems disillusioned with corporate America. Like most of us, he had to change careers, change jobs, and deal with feelings of insecurity when he discovered the world wouldn't give him a free lunch. Unfortunately, it is hard to care about his experiences, because he fails to make them interesting.If you were looking for insights brought to the financial world by a physicist, this book doesn't provide any. I had hoped Derman would generate enthusiasm for applying previously known concepts (physics) to a new field (at least finance was once new to him), but instead got one long monologue. It is hard to care about Derman, the people he encounters, the events he relates, or his career.This book fails miserably. Derman could have written a book based on his strengths, but instead chose to focus on his storytelling weakness.
