Reviews for What They Teach You at Harvard Business School: The Internationally-Bestselling Business Classic

For anyone thinking of doing an MBA, or indeed anyone who wants to understand how the corporate elite are moulded, this is a must read
Luke Johnson, chairman of Channel 4
Anyone considering enrolling will find this an insightful portrait of HBS life
Economist
Horrifying and very funny... [an] excellent book
Wall Street Journal
... Read moreA searingly funny account... Hilarious
Evening Standard
The result of Delves Broughton's time there is this funny and revealing insider's view, revealing precisely because he is genuinely fascinated by the world of business, and his fascination is infectious
The Sunday Times
He sets the scene brilliantly, capturing an essence of HBS that is part cult, part psychological morass, part hothouse... For anyone planning to attend this remarkable institution, Delves Broughton's book is invaluable... A quite brilliant book
Simon Heffer
Literary Review
Delves Broughton sketches out the Harvard curriculum and his fellow travellers with skill and wit... His work is a handy introduction for those who crave the mega-bucks and mega-power that HBS brings many of its graduates. But while it is not the kind of book that non-business readers will naturally reach for, it deserves a broader audience
The Times
A useful primer for anyone considering a similar path, or just curious as to how Harvard churns out all those gleaming little masters of the universe
Washington Post
A particularly absorbing and entertaining read
Financial Times
A cautionary tale for those who believe that the grass - and their future paycheck - would be greener if only they could jump the fence into the rarefied world of the Masters of Business Administration
New York Times
Original, clever, funny - and full of insights into one of the most influential insitutions in the world
George Osborne, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer What They Teach You...' is a hilarious, perceptive and unflinching account of the strange world of Harvard Business School, its students and the wider world of business which they are set to dominate. It is the Liar's Poker of the MBA set. Destined to become a classic
Albert Read, General Manager of Conde Nast Informative, wry, and well-written, this book will make rewarding and pleasurable reading for anybody wishing to understand why business is the way it is.
John Cassidy, staff writer for The New Yorker and author of Dot.Con
