Like some of the characters in this book, Ennio has defeated prostate cancer and also survived a couple of warning strokes. Now in his mid-eighties, he is using many of the strategies described here in order to fight the onslaught of Parkinson’s disease. Professionally, Ennio’s eclectic and adventurous attitude helped him to succeed as a multinational executive, senior government official, international consultant, start-up entrepreneur, artist and musician, public speaker, college and university lecturer, columnist and author. At birth the media described him as an “International Baby” because he was born on a British ship off Australia of Italian-Russian parents. Ennio was educated in Argentina and England and at 20 emigrated to Canada. He then lived in Italy, France, Belgium, Brazil and the USA, eventually returning to Montreal where he now lives happily with Carole, his affectionate and inspiring muse of many years.
