100 Things gives an entertaining spin on real life business situations. Many of us think these things but don’t dare say them out loud. Kudos to Dr. Samuel for capturing and exposing the experiences of most dental offices! Practicing dentistry and running a business means one must wear many different hats. Many books offer a ‘how to’ format for operating a business, but 100 Things takes a hilarious look at day-to-day problems and provides viable solutions to them. Dr. Samuel

This book should be ancillary reading for graduate school students. I could have used such a book five years ago. It would have been immensely helpful!
