He’s the author of several bestselling books, and was with us on Nobody Told Me! a couple of years ago discussing his book, Talking to 'Crazy': How to Deal with the Irrational and Impossible People in Your Life .

Mark is back with us again and has written two very timely new books as we emerge from the pandemic. One is called, "Why Cope When You Can Heal?
