What a glorious piece of synchronicity. My heartfelt thanks go to: My beautiful friend Kerri King, who commanded, “Write it down! Now!” My guardian angel Dorothea Helms, who said, “It’s time to get yourself a great publisher.” The charismatic book publisher Peter Workman, who brings all his senses to bear on a book and surrounds himself with the finest talent to be found. To his astonishing editor, the late Sally Kovalchick, who blew you away with her ability to inhale a manuscript and exhale a finished book. To Margot Herrera, who took over from Sally and has an uncanny ability to throw everything up in the air and make it land in just the right spot at the right time. And, to my youngest daughter, Pippa Boothman, who turned this book into a 90-minute training course for teens and delivered it to thousands of young people across the continent, as well as contributed her talents to this new edition.

You are all living proof that other people are our greatest resource.
