A few years ago, there were hundreds of "dot com millionaires." When the Internet bubble burst and the smoke cleared, few of those titans were left standing. Howard Jonas and his company, IDT, were among the few survivors, and IDT now ranks among the top players in the telecommunications field. Maybe it's got something to do with Jonas. His quirky personality is anything but average. He doesn't run IDT the way Wall Street wants him to. He does it his way, and his attitude toward business and life — strongly grounded in his traditional Jewish values — is refreshingly uncommon. "... exemplary in his pursuit for truth and ... his ability to adopt his findings into his own life." -- Morry Weiss, chairman of the American Greetings Corporation "... the book reads as the story of a Jew seeking to translate passionate memory into passionate purpose." -- Richard Joel, president, Yeshiva University "An easy and entertaining read, this book is a must for people of all faiths!" -- Eric Cantor, Deputy Majority Whip, U.S. Congress (R-Virginia) "An extraordinary baring of Howard Jonas' soul. Thoughtful, insightful, moving. A great read!" --Shelley Berkley, Representative, U.S. Congress (D-Nevada) This book is an entertaining, enlightening, occasionally intense first-person glimpse at Howard's take on life. Look at the world through his eyes and you're guaranteed to see things differently.

I'm Not The Boss

A candid and compelling new memoir by Howard Jonas, chairman and founder of IDT Corporation. This work is a miniature masterpiece, a must-read for anyone interested in cultivating and refining an inner life. 
Coming at a time when Scripture is being used as a divisive and destructive tool, this is a Bible-based work with universal appeal. Drawing on his personal experiences, divulging his struggle against depression and detailing the close-knit family bonds that have sustained him his entire life, Jonas, the founder of IDT Corp., one of America’s top telecommunication companies and father of nine, returns time and again to the teachings of the Torah, the Jewish Bible, which are at the core of his belief system. 
Regardless of one’s religion, lifestyle or upbringing, I’M NOT THE BOSS, I JUST WORK HERE is that rare book with the power to touch – and transform – the lives of readers around the world. 
In many ways, Howard Jonas, a baby boomer and Bronx native, is a man for our times. Coming of age in the confusing era of the Kennedy assassination, Jonas wrestles with conflicting social and economic ideologies, ultimately finding his spiritual and intellectual haven within Judaism. Addressing such timeless issues as how evil can co-exist in a universe created by – and ruled by – God, Jonas speaks not a rabbi, preacher or philosopher, but as a contemporary Everyman. 
His personal quest informs and enriches our own.
