An admission ticket to HBS is a hot commodity and an HBS degree is highly respected in the business world.  Written by an HBS grad and seasoned businesswoman, Harvard Confidential tells you why. It is a distillation of the most valuable and pragmatic but yet easiest to learn concepts taught at HBS.

  • Distills the best of what HBS has to offer and unveils the secrets to success taught behind Harvard's ivied edifices
  • Readers will learn what they teach without going to HBS; learn how to think like an HBS grad and gain a head start on what to expect from HBS
