Emeralds of Oz with Peter Guzzardi

Today's guest is Peter Guzzardi, a legendary
book editor who worked with Stephen Hawking on "A Brief History
of Time," Susan Cain on "Quiet," and Deepak Chopra on "Ageless
Body, Timeless Mind," just to name a few.


After 40 years in publishing Peter has authored his first book,
"Emeralds of Oz: Life Lessons from Over the Rainbow."


In this episode we chat about what exactly an editor's role is in
the publishing process, the timeless wisdom contained in the
Wizard of Oz, and Peter shares his story of a chance encounter
with lasting impact.


We had some Internet issues during this call, which took place in
the middle of his book tour. It's a little wonky towards the
beginning and again at the end, but crystal clear for the vast
majority. I think you'll find Peter's warmth and insight
transcends the occasional audio blip.
