Acknowledgments

TAI MOSES IS ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT, INSIGHTFUL, THOUGHTful, and talented writers and editors I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Thank you, Tai, for turning about a million words of my jumble into a coherent and readable whole!

Johanna Vondeling, who had the idea for this book, is equally incredible—I’ve never before so mourned the loss of an editor/publisher as when she moved to Australia.

And Neal Maillet of Berrett-Koehler has done an absolutely wonderful job of shepherding this book along from concept to completion. It’s been our first time working together, and I’m so impressed by his ability to “get things done,” as they say in the Dale Carnegie course.

Many thanks and much gratitude to a couple of real pros—Gary Palmatier and Elizabeth von Radics of Ideas to Images—for the book’s design and copyediting.

And thanks so much to Louise Hartmann, who has been first-draft editor, idea-bouncer, inspiration, and nudge for all of these books and who has been my best friend, wisest adviser, and beloved wife for well over three decades.
