“Thank you so much for your appearance at our MIND and SUPERMIND lecture series. Your presentation was so well received, people will be talking enthusiastically about it for a long while to come.

I thought it great testament to you that 100 people remained outside the theatre and listened to your entire talk via the loudspeakers we had set up. One woman remarked subsequently, ‘I sat out front on pavement and still found it to be a enriching lecture and am glad I stayed. It was worth it!’”
