Surviving Ned Johnson

Surviving Ned Johnson is an often funny, sometimes sad, but always insightful look into the friendship of two men. Edward 'Ned' Johnson III, the subject of this memoir, is CEO of, and the guiding force behind, Fidelity Investments, one of the world's largest financial services organizations. He's successful, secretive, and complex. The author, Richard 'Dick' Larson, is a self-made man who became friends with Ned Johnson for thirty years. The encounter was fascinating, often comedic, and ultimately turbulent. Some friendships last. Some don't. This book is the author's vivid recounting of their time spent together.
