Phil Goldberg for bringing my Customer Rules to the light of day.

Talia Krohn for being our super editor at Random House. You are the best.

All of my teachers at Hilton, Marriott, and Disney who taught me the Customer Rules.

All of those around the world who really understand service and are the giving ones—especially our military.
