I took a quick look at the preview on Amazon.

* The first paragraph of any chapter or after a heading should not have a first line indent. (First line indents are to show that a new paragraph has started. That's not needed after a heading.) Take a look at any printed book with chapters.

* In the Foreword you have many instances of straight quotes " when you should be using curly quotes “”. In the last paragraph you use curly quotes.

* You should decide how you're going to indicate titles, direct quotations, special words, and hints of sarcasm. Italics for titles is good, double quotes for direct quotations is good. For other uses I recommend single quotes. Using double quotes for everything looks a bit odd.
