Thanks to our agents, Carolyn Forde at Westwood Creative Artists and Martin Perelmuter, Farah Perelmuter, Bryce Moloney and all the team at Speakers’ Spotlight. At HarperCollins we thank our ever-wise, wonderfully encouraging and perennially patient editorial director Jim Gifford, managing editorial director Noelle Zitzer and copyeditor Patricia MacDonald, along with Douglas Richmond for first approaching us with the project. Thanks to all our TRUTHPLANE team for providing the most solid sounding board and feedback throughout this process: virtuosos Bronwyn Page, Michael Turnbull, Cathryn Naiker, Josephine Aguilar, Rakhee Morzaria; researcher Rob Kenigsberg; drivers Danny and Michael. This book is made possible by the constant love, unwavering support, friendship, mentorship, idea sharing and creativity over the years of all the Thomson and Bowden families, John Wright, Shaun Prendergast, Jennifer La Trobe, Den, Dina Haeri, Trish and Nick Del Sorbo, Tamara and Kieran Conroy, “Crowlympians” Julie Soloway and Brian Facey, Ilana Jackson and Mike Sereny, Michael Leckie (it’s either you, me or you and me), Bruce Van Ryn-Bocking for the appreciation of critical thinking, and Michael Bungay-Stanier for cocktails, the book title and the power of asking “What else?” Contributions from our friends, our colleagues, our heroes and some of the giants of body language and behavior: Anderson Carvalho, Jamie Mason Cohen, Janine Driver, Vanessa Van Edwards, Dr. Lillian Glass, Eric Goulard, Gregory Hartley, Danielle Libine, J. Paul Nadeau, Cathryn Naiker, Joe Navarro, Saskia Nelson, Allan Pease, Robert Phipps, Tonya Reiman, Eddy Robinson, Scott Rouse, Alyson Schafer, Victoria Stilwell and Kanan Tandi.
