"Gripping...rarely have I seen loss and grief so powerfully described."Ravi Venkatasen, former Chairman, Microsoft India"Powerful, beautiful, painful, resonant, vivid..."Karen Dillon-Perez, co-author "How to Measure Your Life" former chief editor, HBR."A work of art ... devastating and beautiful...."Kayla Silber, Author, Rosie & Raven"Like bearing witness to something sacred."Selena Cuffe, CGO RJB Properties Dan Isenberg lost his vivacious, tenacious, and gifted Neapolitan wife after a four-year battle with a very rare, untreatable cancer. In "Not for You" Dan pulls us with him on a uniquely honest, intimate, raw journey starting with the months leading up to his loss, and in the months after, grappling with the "knife" buried in his chest after her death. Deeply reflective, Isenberg studiously avoids giving out advice while allowing readers to reach their own conclusions about how to deal with tragedy and loss. Dan is a former Harvard and Columbia professor, investor, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, global authority on entrepreneurship, proud father and enamored grandfather. He has danced salsa on stage, painted, given cooking demonstrations, published a children's book, visited 50 countries, and raised a family of four. Author of Worthless, Impossible, and Stupid (HBRP 2013) and over three dozen HBR articles on entrepreneurship, Dan has a Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Harvard and speaks Hebrew and Italian in addition to English.
