Life affords unique experiences. In the case of this work, author Frank Weisser has served as a combat fighter pilot, lead solo for the Blue Angels, a film stunt coordinator, and a father. The learning one gains in those experiences covers a lot more than career or family. Qualities like focus, resilience, and courage can be developed in all of us, and the lessons conveyed from his experiences to instill these qualities are the core of this work.

Each chapter is framed by a theme of life skill development that runs through all aspects of personal growth: finding focus, developing trust, opening communication, overcoming adversity, facing failure, and recognizing courage within oneself. Thus, the book is short, accessible, and focuses on lessons brought to life by the experiences of someone whose career has required a need to bring these skills to bear. In doing so, he shares these lessons for everyone to utilize for more effective living.
