As Feder navigates the thrills and pitfalls of his time away, he draws readers into remarkable examinations of modern values and modern life. Take Off Your Shoes is Feder’s candid and personable account of a journey across the world, and within himself.

About the author
Ben Feder is first and foremost a family man, devoted to his wife and children. He’s also a world traveler and C-suite business leader. Currently Ben is President, International Partnerships (North America) at Tencent, the Chinese technology giant (dominating China’s ISP market, owner of WeChat, and rival of Alibaba). Formerly, he was CEO of Take Two Interactive, the publisher of the smash video game hit, Grand Theft Auto. An elite Ivy League education prepared him for the rarefied air of corporate finance and management. But, his success in business came at the cost of his personal and family life. That led to a reassessment of priorities resulting in taking a sabbatical year in Bali with the whole family.
