A sincere and heartfelt thanks to all the amazing people in my life who not only contributed to the completion of this book, but are also the reason I am deeply grateful for life every single day. My dear friend and agent, David Smith, who has championed my causes and had my back for years. To my bike buddy, friend and editor, Deb Brody, who has walked arm and arm with me through so many books I’ve lost count. To Shara Alexander, the very best publicist in the whole world. To Wayne and Paisley, who over a platter of sushi and a bottle of wine helped me decide to write this book. To my clients, friends, coworkers and family members who took my advice and then were gracious enough to allow me to share their stories, trials and successes in this book. It is a blessing and an honor to have them in my life. To the researchers whose dedication and hard work provide the basis for the accurate and reliable information on which I have based my advice and career for the past 30 years. And, of course, I am so very thankful to my guardian angel(s) who brought the two best children in the whole world into my life, Lauren and Will. They have been a joy every single day and have allowed me to experience a richness and depth of love, commitment, loyalty and trust that I never would have known otherwise. I love you two with all my heart.
