Review Quotes

"Tarek's latest effort highlights the fact that business happens in the context of living. And life comes at you whether you like it or not. It certainly arrived unexpectedly at Tarek's doorstep. Medical, Psychiatric, Economic and social trends all come to bear on Tarek's journey. I was so pleased that he reached out to me for help during one such episode. And, indeed, Tarek does show the reader how help, support, and upon the shoulders of others, if you forge on, success is attainable. Readers will come away with highly specific applicable lessons and the inspiration to get going and soldier on through the inevitable vicissitudes of life."--Drew Pinsky, MD
