Friend's comments about my book

Dear Mark,

The following are my brief comments on your book:

"Thoroughly enjoyable and beneficial read. Sound, honest and generous information applicable to many aspects of life. My mother (a retired teacher) read the feature article on Mark (The Sunday Times, 11 August 2013) and requested to read the book. I have worked with Mark and his wife, Elisa, for a number of years now (as their dentist) and it has always been a pleasure to attend to them." - Dr. Stephen Khor

Thanks.

Stephen
