Description
I've always taken things personally. If someone looked at me sideways, or said something like, "What makes you think that?" — I’d get my feelings hurt and burst into tears.
That's how I came to write Don't Take It Personally! I only wish a book on overcoming rejection had been available to me years ago. Perhaps I wouldn't have accumulated so many dings and dents along the rejection road.
And what a bumpy road it sometimes was – when I was twelve years old my mother and grandmother died in a plane crash, leaving my father to care for me and my younger brother, Lee. There were lots of relocations as well – from Washington, DC, to Omaha, Nebraska, to Baltimore, Maryland (just in time for my senior year of high school), to Tuscaloosa, Alabama (for college), and finally, to the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm never quite sure how to answer the "Where are you from?" question.
