具体描述
As eager-beaver business school students, Rolfe and Troob garnered job offers as junior associates at the elite Wall Street investment bank Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, lured by dreams of wealth, glamour and power. Readers whose fascination with Wall Street shenanigans has been fueled by Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker will find this thorough rundown of an investment bank associate's daily routine sobering. By the time Rolfe and Troob were able to discern the key fact that the "investment banking community has long been an oligopoly, with only a handful of real players with the size and scale to drive through the big deals," they were already grappling with the gritty reality of performing grunt labor in an environment ruled by despotic senior partners who called innumerable meetings to set unrealistic deadlines and make superhuman demands on anybody within screaming distance. The authors' resulting disappointment and disaffection leaps off every page. Unfortunately, they take out their frustrations with indiscriminate potshots at such easy targets as word processors ("Christopher Street fairies"), copy center personnel ("a platoon of patriotic Puerto Ricans" they offhandedly refer to as "militants") and female research analysts (whom they describe as "under-sexed, eager-to-please"). Long before the hapless authors have stooped to expressing their fury at the bank by such puerile antics as urinating into a beer bottle while seated at a banquet table at the Christmas party, readers will have had enough.

作者简介
John Rolfe grew up in the heart of Dixie. After stints at Virginia Tech and the University of Florida, he took a job doing broadcast research in New York City, convinced that "if I can make it there, I can make it anywhere." In 1993, after concluding that Frank Sinatra had sold him a bill of goods, John entered the Wharton School of Business, where he edited The Wharton Vulgarian. Following his sentence with DLJ, he was a principal with a private investment organization. Currently, John is a freelance man of sport and leisure, and is honing his panhandling skills for the next bear market.
Peter Troob grew up on the rough-and-tumble streets of Scarsdale, New York, and while in grade school starred in James and the Giant Peach. Peter attended Duke University, then worked for Kidder Peabody in New York City. In 1993 he entered the graduate program at the Harvard Business School, where he edited the humor section in the Harbus and wrote the "Kosher Korner" column. This made his mother proud. Peter is currently a partner with a private investment organization and is anticipating many happy years there.

读后感
我是在chasedream上无意看到人们在讨论这本书的。我之所以上chasedream纯粹是因为有几瞬间我还是涌起了些许去米国念MBA的想法——尤其是这七个月来经历的项目，令我有机会和若干投行的analyst, associate, director, MD频繁打交道，大约了解他们的工作，就怀着验证事实的心情...

评分任何一个看似光鲜的职业背后都有着难以言说的无奈。这本书给我最大的感受就是可能这个世界上就没有什么完美的职业。对于一个刚毕业一无所有的学生，追求金钱似乎是理所当然的事情。就像马斯洛说得人的需求的几个层次，总要先让自己吃饱穿暖，体面地活下去。但是，如果一...

评分失眠之夜看完了这本书，免得明天换频道看其它书时对此念念不忘。 不过最重要的原因还是想快点看完这个从开始就知道的结局，真是家家都有本难念的经，光鲜亮丽的背后一定有苦涩的一面，当然有些人会认为这是失败者酸酸的妒忌，你大可继续享受，但退出的理由也是合情合理的。无...
用户评价
坦白说，《Monkey Business》这本书给我带来的震撼是难以言喻的。我一直认为自己对人情世故有一定的了解，但这本书却向我展示了一个我从未触及过的全新维度。作者的笔触极其老练，他能够将那些复杂的社会行为描绘得绘声绘色，仿佛就在我眼前上演一般。我被书中对“权力动态”和“社交策略”的分析深深吸引，这些内容不仅让我对现实世界的运行规律有了更清晰的认识，也让我开始反思自己在人际交往中的一些策略是否需要调整。这本书并非空泛的理论，而是充满了对现实世界的敏锐洞察，让我感觉自己仿佛拥有了一副能够看穿伪装的眼镜。我喜欢作者在不经意间抛出的那些“金句”，它们往往能够点醒我，让我茅塞顿开。总而言之，这是一本能够真正改变你看待世界方式的书籍。
评分这本《Monkey Business》简直是一场思维的盛宴！作者的写作风格非常别致，他用一种近乎艺术化的方式来展现他对人类行为的理解。读这本书就像是在欣赏一幅精心绘制的画作，每一个笔触都充满了深意。我最欣赏的是作者对于“沟通的艺术”和“潜意识的引导”的剖析，这部分内容让我对如何更有效地与人交流，以及如何避免被他人操纵有了更深刻的理解。这本书没有说教的意味，而是通过一个个引人入胜的故事和分析，引导读者自己去得出结论。我经常会因为书中某个观点而陷入沉思，反复推敲，试图将其内化。它让我学会了更加理性地看待问题，也让我对人性的复杂有了更深的敬畏。这本书的价值在于，它不仅仅提供知识，更是一种思维的启迪，让我能够在日常生活中，更敏锐地捕捉到那些隐藏在表象之下的信息。
评分我必须说，《Monkey Business》这本书彻底颠覆了我对某些社会现象的认知。以往，我总是从宏观的角度去看待问题，而这本书则像一把手术刀，精准地剖析了人与人之间互动中的微妙之处。作者的洞察力简直令人惊叹，他能够捕捉到那些极易被我们忽视的信号，并将其背后的原因分析得鞭辟入里。我尤其欣赏作者在论述中展现出的严谨性，虽然内容引人入胜，但其论证过程却丝毫不含糊，充满了逻辑的严密性。读完之后，我感觉自己的思维方式得到了极大的拓展，也学会了从更深层次去理解他人的动机和行为。这本书不仅是提供信息，更是一种思维训练。它让我意识到，很多时候我们所谓的“直觉”并非空穴来风，而是建立在一系列不易察觉的社会线索之上。强烈推荐给所有对人性、心理学或者社会学感兴趣的朋友们，这本书一定会给你带来意想不到的收获。
评分《Monkey Business》这本书的阅读体验简直是跌宕起伏，如同坐过山车一般。一开始，我以为这是一本轻松的读物，没想到越读越觉得内容深刻，引人深思。作者的叙事方式非常独特，他善于将复杂的概念用生动形象的比喻和贴近生活的例子来解释，让原本晦涩的理论变得易于理解。我特别喜欢他对于“群体效应”和“认知偏差”的探讨，这部分内容让我对自己在某些决策上的盲点有了深刻的认识。整本书充满了智慧的火花，常常会在某个章节的结尾，让我忍不住停下来，回味作者提出的观点，并将其与自己的经历进行对比。这种阅读过程带来的“顿悟感”是非常美妙的。而且，这本书的结构安排也很巧妙，每一章之间既有联系，又相互独立，可以随时翻阅，总能找到新的启发。我感觉自己像是在和一位智者进行一场深刻的对话，受益良多。
评分这本书真是让我大开眼界！我一直对探究人性和社会互动背后的复杂动态充满好奇，而《Monkey Business》恰恰满足了这份渴望。我特别喜欢作者如何通过细腻的观察和生动的叙述，将那些常常被我们忽略的微观行为放大，揭示出其背后隐藏的深刻逻辑。它不是那种枯燥的学术理论堆砌，而是充满了鲜活的案例和引人入胜的故事。读这本书的过程中，我常常会不自觉地联想到自己生活中的经历，对周遭的人和事有了全新的理解。作者并没有给出简单的答案，而是引导读者去思考，去探索，去发现。这种开放式的探讨方式，反而激发了我更强烈的求知欲。而且，这本书的语言风格也十分吸引人，时而幽默风趣，时而深刻反思，让我在轻松阅读的同时，也能收获满满的智慧。这本书让我重新审视了许多习以为常的现象，也促使我去反思自己的行为模式，我真的从中受益匪浅。

评分Interesting read
评分funny little book; it does look like a closure to me
评分昨天读罢本书感到其实投行和广告业有许多相似之处，当然主要区别还是钱，挺好玩的一部投行血泪史。epiphany一章最有趣，讲主角凌晨3点独自在办公室m后顿悟人生不想从此这般lonely and horny毅然决然离开华尔街。
