How Do You Share Your Vulnerabilities?

I would love to move into the quick fire round there a lot, so I say a short statement and you give me your immediate thoughts about 60 seconds per one. So what's your favourite book and why?

It gives you a meaning to our work to know that the profits we help generate go to these great causes that help with medical research, education, poverty, alleviation. Tom Kill
