Author: CNBC, Financial Times, and Reuters contributor

A very interesting perspective on risk, and almost entirely all points I completely agree with. First-hand experience and from a viewpoint that is not a traditional banker's viewpoint. It is timely and incorrect not to address the lessons learned.
-- Nigel Spry, London. Formerly Managing Director and Global Head of Distribution for Trade and Structured Finance, Cargill, Inc.
 

Vast canvas integrated with a superbly lucid presentation. Eliminates the need for prior expertise despite the complex subject.
- Partha Ghosh, Kolkata. Formerly Global Risk Trainer and Senior Credit Officer and with Standard Chartered Bank
 

Ambitious and interesting. Spans prejudices, cognitive biases, excellence in risk tools, and mental discipline. So much more than your average finance book.
- Andrew Willans. Formerly Managing Director and Head of Governance, North American multinational banks

The author, an unorthodox thinker, incisively explains the risky aspects of the complicated banking world. The book reveals new insights and perspectives; it is a compass for right and wrong, refreshing and makes you think in a way that is miles away from common lines of thinking.
- Madeleine van Mansfeld, Amsterdam. Ecologist and advisor. Formerly Senior Researcher with Wageningen University (Global #1 for environment research)

A full-fledged credit training curriculum. Far more than an average or even experienced credit officer may hope to put into practice. Very dense and rich; enormous work.
- Peter Dodds, Boston. Formerly Global Commodities Risk and Business Head with multinational financial institutions
 

Brings to the fore the issues normally left out by most risk managers. Simple thought flow with a practitioners' stamp.
- Brahmanand Hegde, Bangalore. Executive Vice Chairman, Vistaar Finance. Formerly General Manager, ICICI Bank
 

Unpacks the dearth of thought we encounter every day and how this affects our perception and cognition. Contains information that you don't get in formal institutions, if they offer it, it is never with such freshness, authenticity, and purpose. Highly recommendable to anyone who desires to understand the financial or commercial world and to those willing to unlearn to relearn.
- Moliehi Molekoa, Johannesburg. Managing Director, Magna Carta Reputation Management Consultants, South Africa

A wonderful panoramic perspective that will give you an unbeatable edge over the others.
- Brajesh Mishra, Bangalore. Founder Varthana Finance. Formerly with ICICI Bank Rural and Small Business Unit
 

A masterpiece on financial risk management. 
- Subash C.B., India. Financial Management Expert and Joint Commissioner for Commercial Taxes
 

A breakthrough text. Delightful and challenging.
