I just finished the book. WOW! That must have been a lot of work! I love the purpose, and how concise it is. I’ve never seen anything laid out like this. It’s exactly what every student should start as soon as they know they want to be a chiropractor, no matter what their experience.

Dr. Lisa Goodman’s book is absolutely something that every chiropractor should have. No other book I have read can even begin to compete with the incredible breadth and depth of the material she covers. Each chapter contains a plethora of material to help not only the student but also those who have been in practice for many years.
Kudos to Dr. Lisa Goodman for this incredible contribution to our colleagues.”
