I thank my wife, Bonnie, for sharing the journey of developing this book with me.
I thank our three daughters, Shannon, Juliet, and Lauren, for their continuous love and support. Living with four Venusians has certainly expanded my ability to understand and honor the female point of view.
I thank Barbara Slate for her tremendous contribution of designing and drawing the illustrations.
I thank my editor, Meaghan Dowling, at HarperCollins, for her brilliant feedback and advice. I also thank my publicist, Leslie Cohen, and the incredible staff at HarperCollins.
I thank Linda Michaels, my international agent, for getting my books published in more than fifty languages. I thank Monique Mallory at Planned Television Arts for her hard work in organizing my busy media schedule.
I thank my staff—Rosie Lynch, Michael Najarian, Donna Doiron, and Jeff Owens—for their consistent support and hard work marketing my radio show, books, tapes, seminars, and speaking engagements.
I thank my parents, Virginia and David Gray, for their love and encouragement. Though they are no longer here, their love continues to surround and support me.
