With an earned doctorate in the knocks of life, Terrick offers his credentials to all the other slow learners out there who may identify with him as they read about his outrageous journeys. What makes his story especially unique are the confessed detours in life: dependence on drugs and alcohol and subsequent recovery over 35 years ago, one failed marriage and one terminated marriage. Edsel's beautiful Thai wife, Keaw, and he characterize and maintain their relationship with a level of honesty, trust, and communication that he never thought possible. Terrick has served as his own laboratory for the principles and concepts presented in this book. And, they work!
