Acknowledgments
Writing is my passion, and I am grateful for having chosen to become a writer. I am even more grateful for the people who have become part of my life as a result of my chosen profession. Kim Cooper and Adam Vital have worked with me on this book from its idea phase to its final version. They are, in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s definition of the ideal friend, my beautiful enemies—challenging me, pushing me, making me a better writer and thinker.
Whenever I have an idea for a book, the first person I turn to is Rafe Sagalyn of The Sagalyn Agency. His advice throughout the long process of writing is always wise and enlightening. Particularly, his advice to publish this book with The Experiment has been among the best he has given me. Working with Matthew Lore, Cara Bedick, and their team has been professionally and personally rewarding.
C.J. Lonoff of Speaking Matters has for the past decade paved the way for many of the things that I do, and it excites me to think of the roads we’ll continue to travel together.
I am deeply indebted to Ellen Langer, whose seminal research on the topic of choice influenced my thinking in significant ways. Her work on this topic was—and continues to be—revolutionary. I am indebted, too, to the work of the many psychologists I cite in this book, especially to Edward Deci, Sheena Iyengar, Sonja Lyubomirsky, Karen Reivich, Richard Ryan, Barry Schwartz, Martin Seligman, and Kennon Sheldon.
Numerous conversations with Rami Ziv have given birth to many of the choices I present in this book—as well as to the choice I made to become a psychologist and philosopher.
Pninit Russo-Netzer and Jorge Perelman read through the manuscript and provided valuable feedback.
Zevik and Aterett, beyond being the best brother and sister one could ask for, are exceptionally insightful and constantly contribute to my writing and thinking. I am also grateful for my sister’s choice to bring Udi Mozes into our family—his professionalism in our work together is surpassed only by his kindness and generosity.
To have met Tami at the age of fourteen is, to my mind, the luckiest break I’ve ever had. To decide to spend my life with her—and to raise three wonderful children together—is the best choice I’ve ever made.
This book is dedicated to my amazing parents. It is only now, as a parent myself, that I fully grasp the sometimes overwhelming number of choices that have to be made when raising children. I will be forever grateful for the paths they chose ............
