Amit Sood, M.D., author of <em>The Mayo Clinic Handbook for Happiness<\/em>, says when we work as if everyone we serve is a family member, we build stronger connections that can influence attention and competence, which can lead to success. At Neora, before we offer any product or opportunity to anyone, we ask ourselves: \u201cWould I be comfortable giving this to a family member?\u201d If the answer is \u2018yes,\u2019 then we know it\u2019s a good decision and we are moving in the right direction.
