Testosterone Inc: Tales of CEOs Gone Wild

Praise for Testosterone Inc.
"A best bet if you are looking for a business book in the mold of a novel by Sidney Sheldon, Jackie Collins, or Olivia Goldsmith . . . while there is a remarkable amount of business history, there is enough talk of divorces and other aspects of personal lives to justify taking this to the beach."
—The New York Times
"Entertaining and eye–opening . . . rarely do we get such a well–documented and readable account of such unacceptable behavior among those at the top of American business."
—Barron′s
"Cheeky, mesmerizing, and sometimes out–of–bounds . . . Byron will have you shaking your head in amazement by the time you finish Testosterone Inc."
—BusinessWeek
"Unearths tantalizing stories of bad behavior."
—USA Today
"Irresistible, wonderfully well written, superbly documented. . . .This book is a fabulous read."
—The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"Byron does a remarkable job of supplying the social, political, and business background in which these four repulsive individuals pursued their quests for wealth and fame. But it is the testosterone content of the book that keeps the reader riveted. This is basically a book about greedy, powerful men trying to fulfill their adolescent fantasies by taking mistresses and divorcing their wives to marry younger women."
—Ft. Worth Star–Telegram
"Combines an understanding of balance sheets with an ear for gossip and an eye for human failings."
—Daily Telegraph (UK)
