Synopsis

"Ted Malloch--bon vivant, scholar, diplomat, businessman, sportsman ... brings us along on some of his greatest adventures." --Linda Bridges, Editor-at-Large, National Review

A former Yale professor and senior business executive whose contact list includes the most powerful leaders in business, media and politics, Ted Malloch has seen it all, done it all, and now is telling all. From his appointment as sergeant in the Toilet Patrol (reserved for children deemed "gifted") to his appointment as scholar-diplomat by the US State Department to a peek behind the curiosity curtain at the Davos meeting to how he lost millions in the dot-com bubble to his one-person seminar for the chairman of Toyota, it's all here. With names.

In Davos, Aspen, and Yale, Malloch presents a humorous and witty take on his life experiences in this unique and riotous account. Masterfully woven throughout the stories are insights on his driving passion: enterprise, organization, dedication, skill, teamwork, diligence, and planning. The virtues that drive an uncommon life are illustrated throughout--as are stories of those who have abandoned those virtues. He's not afraid to name names; many well-known leaders play parts in this can't-put-down-and-get-back-to-work "WASPY" tale. Malloch demonstrates how his Christian faith and spiritual capital have motivated and guided his purpose and higher calling.

About this title

Review:

"Malloch is a much better than average golfer but his memoir is like an eagle on a par 4! Read it and laugh and cry at the same time. Tsar or Star, Moll or Pol, Whigged or Bewigged--our boy Malloch keeps them hopping (and that ain't no photo-shopping)."

- - Daniel Tessler, Managing Partner, a leading Gold Fund

"There may well come a day when a new-and-improved obsession with equality will grind down the very last of the better things. In the meantime, Malloch's hilarious memoir will serve as a map of the true landscape of unequal men and their unequal things. And perhaps some future 'equalitarian' will, upon reading it, suddenly remember the great truth: that things and men can be divided between better or worse, between good or evil--and that, for the sake of their sanity, men would do well to rank things as their ancestors once did."

- - Kenneth Bickford, board member, Ethics & Public Policy Center

"This book is full of it--humor, wisdom, pomposity and humility--all in equal doses. A must read!"

- - Prasad Kaippa, Author of Smart to Wise

"An honest life, honestly told! One of the many things that has always impressed me about Ted Malloch is his integrity. It's tough to convey this in pithy fashion but he accomplishes it in this amazing life story."

- - Nicholas Capaldi, Loyola University, School of Business

"Don't be fooled by this light-hearted memoir. While humorous, its pages reveal an indefatigable Renaissance man who, like his namesake, is actually in the arena in every way imaginable. Moreover, we not only meet a Malloch who strives valiantly, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and who spends himself in a worthy cause but we also find inspiration in a life that embodies the triumph of high achievement."

- - Robert W. Patterson, columnist, The Philadelphia Inquirer
