“I just wanted to say that I read your book and enjoyed it very much. The idea of Questions From the Stands is a great metaphor. When you’re not playing the game, it’s a different view entirely. I had not thought about this before reading your book. Thanks for sharing it with me. I believe it will benefit a great many people.”
