ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A giant shout out to Scott Brassart, our co-editor and research guide. Without Scott this book would not have been written—period. Scott, you are an amazing, good man. To Corrine Casanova of Gentle Path Press, a woman we’ve both known for nearly 20 years, thank you for being a superb editor and a quiet visionary behind the scenes. Thank you for all you do for us and so many others to get the work and word out there!

Kudos go out to my husband, Jonathan Westerman, if only because living with an author by definition, means being a patient, loving and creative man. Jon, you are all that and more. I have also been both shoved and supported into embracing the world and media of the 21st century by dear friends and colleagues like Rebekah Iliff and Kristen Tischhauser at AirPR and talkTECH, Dr. Stefanie Carnes, Dr. Patrick Carnes, Tami VerHelst at the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals and Brené Brown whose quiet vision is reshaping our world.

Further shout outs to Charlie Risien and Debra Kaplan along with Dr. David Sack, Keith Arnold, Vera Appleyard, and Lori Shannon at Elements Behavioral Health. Thanks too to my dear friend and reader, Eve Niedergang, you are amazing! Thanks also to Laura Maxey, Diana Lombardi, and Annette Banca of the 5WPR team for embracing this book and all that it represents. And to Steve Jobs, whose visionary, integrative thinking changed all of our lives and rocked the world that we thought we knew.

Finally, thank you to the hundreds of people who have taken the time to share their views with me during conferences, online, and events all over the world. Each of you has offered some gem or viewpoint along the way that has shaped the meaning of the world described in Closer Together, Further Apart.

I would like to acknowledge the support of Marni Dittmar, Lucia Yao, and David Sims, librarians at the Tucson Medical Center Library. Without their willingness to send me dozens of references on short notice, I could not possibly have accomplished the research and writing that I contributed to this book! I would also like to thank my late daughter Jessica Grace Wing, a big participant in the early days of the Internet revolution and one of the first volunteer “digital natives.” I wish she could have lived to see how the Internet has changed the world. Last but not least, I would like to thank my son, Ben Wing, whose knowledgeable and thoughtful critique of this book resulted in some valuable changes.
