Those who directly contributed to the book

I want to thank Wendy Lim (who prefers to be known as Average Joey), as well as Zen Trenholm, who have relentlessly combed through my book and fixed up many of my careless mistakes, as well as pointed out unclear or inappropriate content within my blind spots. I want to thank Jerry Fuqua for bringing his Ph.D. discipline into editing my book and making me a better writer. This book would have embarrassed me without me knowing it if it wasn’t for you. Many thanks to Ping-Hsiang Chen for designing all the logos for my personal brand as well as the book cover of this book.

I want to thank Christine Yee and Monica Leonelle for helping out with research and content. I also want to thank Jun Loayza, Sergey Znutin, Michael Jensen, Victoria Pan, Solomon Rajput, Morlion Thijs, Belal Sweileh, Mike Finney, Mauro Ghibaudo, and Mark Welch for providing feedback as they read through the book. I want to thank Mario Herger for giving me the extra push...
