"Not only is he a great and entertaining writer but, I can tell you his insights on life are invaluable!"
- Kerryn Benbow, Senior Events Manager (Red Cross, AMP, Symantec)
Australian Mark Elder has worked as a magazine designer, a photojournalist and a musician. His travels have taken him such diverse places as war zones in Afghanistan to Everest Basecamp in Nepal and Yakuza bars in Japan. He has studied mindfulness at a Vipassana (ten days of silence) retreat as well as releasing the Kundalini in India ("oh, wow!").
But it was his work as a telephone crisis volunteer - and trainer - that inspired this book. The years that he spent on the phone gave him the skills and insights into helping people climb out of the emotional danger zone. His time in various war zones and places where people are suffering also provided many insights into the human condition.
He has had articles published in publications such as GQ, Elle, Gourmet Traveller and others. His recent diagnosis of early onset Parkinson's Disease has given him extra insights into using his coping skills. It's done nothing for his typing technique, though!

Well, the first two weeks have been amazing. We are just about to hit USD$1,000! Thanks to everyone for your support. I understand a few people have had some difficulty with the pre-ordering process. Give me a call and I can talk you through it.
We've had a lot of interest in the twittersphere as well as some press. The feeling is that we will get a lot more press when the actual book is released.
Don't forget to let people know about the book - particularly anyone who is having a hard time.
Enjoy the festive season!
Cheers,
Mark
