ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Michael would like to thank Robert Huebscher, CEO of Advisor Perspectives, for publishing many of his articles and for allowing the use of portions of their content in this book.

We wish to thank the four reviewers engaged by Berrett-Koehler Publishers to review an early draft of the book: Kathy Scheiern, David Marshall, John Tobin, and John K. Romano. Their insightful comments helped us greatly with the book’s revision.

We also wish to thank our friends Karin Hibma and Kevin O’Brien, who attended our Author’s Day lunch at Berrett-Koehler and generously provided valuable feedback. And we wish to thank the two guests invited by Berrett-Koehler, Jeff Chow and Ian Mitroff, with whom we had enlightening conversations.

Most especially, we wish to thank Berrett-Koehler’s exemplary editorial, production, publicity, and marketing teams: María Jesús Aguiló, Charlotte Ashlock, Marina Cook, Michael Crowley, Kat Engh, Kristen Frantz, Kylah Frazier, Catherine Lengronne, Zoe Mackey, Neal Maillet, David Marshall (doubly for also being an insightful reviewer), Dianne Platner, Courtney Schonfeld, Katie Sheehan, Johanna Vondeling, and Rick Wilson; and also a particular thank-you to our tireless and expert copy editor and production manager Laura Larson and Michael Bass.

And a very special thank-you to Berrett-Koehler’s inimitable founder, president, and publisher, Steve Piersanti, who also served as our editor, and to Berrett-Koehler’s managing director Jeevan Sivasubramanian, who shepherded us through the whole process. Michael has had the good fortune to work with Steve and Jeevan and their excellent Berrett-Koehler team on two occasions now. We do not know how a publisher could be more helpful and author-friendly.
