ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book was completed in the dire months of the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak, and more than ever I feel grateful to those who have become my extended family. There is a personal connection and a bond of devotion with the Chopra Foundation and Chopra Global, my publisher, and most especially my longtime editor, Gary Jansen, who is remarkably fair and astute in our collaboration. Carolyn Rangel remains just as remarkable in her tireless devotion. Thanks to all of you from my heart. My wife, Rita, and I feel blessed to be surrounded by children and grandchildren who are just as precious to us now as the day they came into the world. May these bonds only strengthen as the world learns to heal again.
