The Art of Clear Thinking: A Fighter Pilot's Guide to Making Tough Decisions

Description

Based on a career of making high-stakes, split-second decisions as an elite US fighter pilot, The Art of Clear Thinking teaches readers how to make better decisions in everyday life. The training to become a fighter pilot is among the most competitive and difficult in the world with less than one-in-a-thousand succeeding. Pushing a cutting-edge jet to its limits at over 1,000 mph means that every split-second decision can have catastrophic consequences. This extreme environment has forged a group of warriors who for the last 50 years have been considered at the apex of decision-making theory and practice. Throughout his high-stakes career, Hasard Lee used these decision-making skills in the cockpit of the world's most advanced and expensive weapons systems. Now he teaches his hard-earned insights in the boardroom, helping CEOs, astronauts, CIA agents and many others to perform at their peak. Distilling what he's learned from excelling in the world's most high-pressure environments, The Art of Clear Thinking is a compelling and revolutionary guide for readers to sharpen their instincts in a world full of uncertainty and risk.

HASARD LEE is a U.S Air Force fighter pilot who led his pilots into combat during one of the most intense periods during the War in Afghanistan. There he flew over 80 combat missions and became the only fighter pilot to ever fly two different types of jets into combat on the same day while supporting troops under fire. Hasard was then hand-picked to fly the F-35-the most advanced and expensive weapons system in history-which was still in development at the time. During his last role on Active-Duty, Hasard became the Chief of Training Systems for the largest training base in the world, leading the development of new technology and teaching methods to train future fighter pilots. Hasard now speaks and consults for organisations and his social media accounts reach over 290 million people annually. The Art of Clear Thinking is his first book.
