One man's journey through wealth, faith, and the high-stakes world of finance.

What happens when a young rabbi sets out to join the ranks of the wealthy 1%, only to find his dreams leading him into a battle for his own soul? Living Dangerously is the gripping story of Irwin Katsof’s quest to build wealth without sacrificing his integrity—or losing himself along the way.

In this riveting memoir, you’ll discover:
  • The Secrets of the Wealthy: How Irwin learned from high-powered donors and tried to mirror their success
  • The Cost of Ambition: His path to riches comes at a price—growing debts, strained family life, and sleepless nights
  • A Crossroads Moment: When everything hangs in the balance, Irwin must choose—pursue wealth at all costs or stay true to his faith and values

Irwin’s journey offers readers a front-row seat to the world of high-stakes ambition, where success isn’t just measured by dollars, but by the strength of one’s character.

If you’ve ever wondered if it’s possible to thrive in the cutthroat world of finance without losing what truly matters, *Living Dangerously* will inspire you to find your own path to success with integrity.

**Early Praise for Living Dangerously**

★★★★★
John Ashcroft, former US Attorney General

“Transparently and vulnerably Rabbi Katsof catalogues struggles with a damaging financial obsession. Finding and embracing an integrated balance between career, family, and spirituality lead to important insights in his account. Whether Jewish or Christian, we can benefit from this portrait of the pursuit of being God-oriented in the face of our modern materialistic society.”

★★★★★
Ken Goldman, former CFO of Yahoo.com

“I have known Irwin Katsof through his original rabbinical life and through our tour together to Israel to celebrate its 50th anniversary, and this book is from his heart and expresses his life’s journey as he searches what is important for happiness and fulfillment. It has lessons we can all learn from, take it from me!”

★★★★★
Omar Epps, actor, rapper and producer; co-star of the TV dramas House MD and ER; winner of nine NAACP Image Awards

“In a dog-eat-dog world, which is fueled by insatiably capitalistic appetites, my friend Rabbi Katsof, offers some humbling insight on how to discover one’s inner peace. In this book, he shares his personal imperfections to help enlighten the reader on the things that hold true value in life beyond the monetary. Rabbi Katsof’s ‘humility over hubris’ approach to unpacking his unique perspectives on how to balance matters of the mind along with matters of the heart is to be enjoyed, studied, and applauded for generations to come.”

★★★★★
Howard Jonas, telecom entrepreneur; founder of IDT Corp. and Genie Energy; author of "I’m Not the Boss, I Just Work Here"

“With his fourth book, Rabbi Katsof hits a home run. It is a very honest – and entertaining – account of the failures and successes of his fascinating life. In addition, it is full of great business insights and wisdom for living. A meaningful and enjoyable read.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and engaging

    This book is incredibly well written, very engaging and hard to put down. I love how it imbues torah ideals and values, like quotes from pirkay avot. It makes it more than a book on business or a memoir and makes the story feel like a lesson on living life. I feel spiritually uplifted reading thus nook. I also have a passion for learning about finance and this book really scratches an itch.

    Some lines I thought were so percise and hit the nail on the head. I was constantly reciting to my wife quotes from your book because I thought they were so poignant. I would like to share one of them in particular.
    "...I felt too rootless, to unsettled to go to Asia. Intuitively, I knew it would be dangerous for me both spiritually and psychologically. I saw the odd, blank look in the eyes of people returning from there. They seemed removed from the world."

    It's rare to find an author who is so honest and willing to share so openly. It's one thing to be self aware, it's quite another to have the courage to share this is with world for the sake of helping others. I loved this book- well written, fun to read, and contains real practical and applicable wisdom. A terrific read! You will love it too!

    I found the book very genuine and insightful. I get the feeling Irwin Katsof was going through some sort of a cathortic process while writing a book. The book has a nice flow to it and I found myself wanting to read on and not put it down. It's at times very sober and hilarious. Definitely recommend this honest and thoughtful book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Grounded, wise, and surprisingly personal
    Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2025

    I was not sure what to expect from this book but I am really glad I picked it up. It is rare to find something that blends raw personal truth with practical life insight without sounding preachy and Irwin Katsof pulls it off.

    There were moments I found myself underlining lines, nodding along, or pausing to reflect. The book does not pretend to have all the answers but it makes you ask the right questions about success, purpose, faith, and integrity.

    If you are navigating ambition, burnout, or just trying to stay human while chasing big goals, this one is worth your time. It is a memoir and also a quiet call to live more intentionally.

Irwin’s voice is authentic, grounded, and inspiring. A truly meaningful read for anyone seeking resilience and purpose.
