All rights reserved. From Publishers Weekly With an eye to gleaning savvy business tips from the Torah, Rabbi Brackman and columnist Jaffe cover a span of topics-"Conquering Fear," management styles (referred to as "Patriarchal Business Models"), negotiation and "Dealing with Failure."

The authors continue on to document the disproportionate success of Jewish people, ultimately attributing it to a few basic teachings from the Torah that have become staples of the Jewish culture.
