Anatomy of a Scientific Discovery: The Race to Find the Body's Own Morphine

I was born in Chicago and moved to New York when I was 17 so I've got the down-to-earthiness of a midwestern boy combined with the wit and edge of a NYer! I'm the proud father of three wonderful children and a wild pug named Bella. I live in a beach house year-round because I'm truly a beach bum. Sitting on the beach and sipping a cocktail while watching the waves (going for a swim and occasionally taking out my surfboard) is my idea of a great day. At various times I've tried my hand at skydiving (almost died), motorcycling (fractured my collarbone), stand-up comedian (almost died) and acting. I've studied personal growth and development for over 30 years with some of the masters. I make my living as a professionals speaker, consultant and trainer helping salespeople, and the companies they work for, get measurable and sustainable sales improvement. I was fortunate to find my brilliant co-author, Steve Bookbinder, without whom I never would have written a book. We are truly the epitome of two guys who Leverage Our Laziness!
