title: For the Love of Money: A Memoir
author:  Sam Polk 
description: "A page-turning journey of radical transformation with rare insights into the dysfunction of Wall Street and our achievement-obsessed culture, written with a level of honesty and depth that is rare for any author, let alone a former hedge-fund trader!--<b>Jack Canfield, bestselling co-author of the CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL series</b><br /><br />"Beyond a cautionary tale on wealth addiction and the toxic culture of Wall Street, <i>For The Love of Money</i> is also a tender and clear story of the transformation of a soul in search of self and healing. Along with a vivid entry into the world of a hedge fund trader, the reader finds resonance in Sam Polk's excavation of his essential wound and is likewise brought into the bright light of wholeness."--<b>Gregory Boyle, S.J., founder of Homeboy Industries and <i>New York Times</i>bestselling author of <i>Tatoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion</i></b><br /><br /><i>For the Love of Money</i> is one of the most important memoirs of our time. Sam Polk takes us on a journey through the upper echelons of Wall Street, where money and self-worth are often inseparable. Polk shows how he got swept up in a culture of accumulation, and how he managed to extract himself by making peace with his past. Polks humility and unflinching honesty offers us hope for tomorrow, and an account of what truly matters. This is a must read.--<b>Christina McDowell, author of <i>After Perfect: A Daughter'sMemoir</i></b><br /><br />"Riveting. Polk has managed to write a fast-paced thriller, while at the same time exploring the pain underneath our desire for money, power, and success with startling honesty, brilliance, and depth. But perhaps the best part (and there are so many best parts in <i>For the Love of Money</i>), is that Polks story is a remarkable blueprint of hope and transformation for what comes after greed. I was blown away."--<b>Geneen Roth, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Women Food and God</i></b><br /><br />"A compelling, mesmerizing, and deeply psychological memoir. Polks journey is both courageous and inspirational, and a reminder to all of us that there are pursuits far more fulfilling than the accumulation of material wealth."--<b>Robin Berman, MD Associate Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA author of <i>Permission to Parent</i></b><br /><br />"I read Sam Polks <i>For the Love of Money</i> in one night. Its an engrossing and important bookrequired reading for the legions of bright, young students who assume that money brings well-being. As Polk shows, the quest for money never ends, and only becomes more urgent. Instead, enduring happiness comes from a career grounded in passion and meaningfulness. As long as youre happy and have enough to live on, the rest takes care of itself."--<b>Adam Alter <i>New York Times</i>bestselling author of <i>Drunk Tank Pink</i> and Associate Professor of Marketing and Psychology, New York University Stern School of Business</b><br /><br />"Engrossing....A heartfelt andcautionary success story incorporating both the deceptive promises of wealthand the life-changing power of self-awareness."--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br /><br />"A journey of self-discovery."--<i><b>Forbes.com</b></i><br /><br />"Compellingly written...unflinchingly honest...abook that seems, on the surface, to be about finding professional fulfillment, ends up being, at its core, about the inner journey Polk undertakes to redefine success."--<i><b>Forbes</b></i><br /><br />"Part coming-of-age story, part recovery memoir and part expos of a rotten, money-drenched Wall Street culture."--<b><i>Salon</i></b>
