Many thanks to champion literary agent Helen Zimmermann for her outstanding guidance and support. The third time is the best yet.

Much appreciation to Mark Weinstein, my editor, for his direction and encouragement. I’d also like to thank Yeon Kim and Jason Wells and the rest of the world-class team at Rodale Books.

Special thanks to Christian Swann, Mike Mombrea, Cheri Mah, Joan Ryan, and Jordan Mazur for their excel lent contributions.

My wonderful wife, Anne, and our darling daughter, Maria Paz, for their endless love and continuously cheering me on.
