About the Author
Tim lives by a simple mantra. "At the end of our lives we are going to think about our relationships; our human connections. If relationships are going to be important then, shouldn't they be important now? After all, it's possible to accumulate too much stuff in this world, but it is impossible to accumulate too much human connection."
