In It's Not All About Money, Baer details an almost 60-year career and associations with celebrities, artists and literati including Isaac Stern and the Shah of Iran. He offers passionate, personal, and fascinating insight into the life and times of a privileged Swiss banker, recounting family stories, anecdotes, and historical events that shaped his life. With humor and humility, he makes it clear that he is equally privileged to have known, associated with, and been influenced by the “Who's Who of the 20th Century.”
Creativity Inspires Me. In the end, I live off the fact that I can build a creative climate. I don't believe that fear and uncertainty are leadership principles that promise success.  Who wants to be feared rather than loved? - Hans J. Baer
