Here is a link to my guest spot on You, The Owner’s Manual radio show, hosted by New York Times best-selling author Dr. Michael Roizen. It is a lively interview, worth listening to if for no other reason than Roizen’s great taste in writing: “I really enjoyed the book,” he said to me at one point “…where did you learn to be such a great writer?” Very nice to get such feedback. He added on later: “It’s a book for everyone’s bathroom shelf, if not the plane or any place else. It’s a wonderful book.” It is this kind of praise that keeps me motivated. Really gratifying to hear people’s enthusiastic reaction to Critical Decisions!
