About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Sharpen your instincts in a world full of uncertainty and risk.

The training to become a fighter pilot is among the most competitive and difficult in the world with fewer 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. Throughout his high-pressure career in the cockpit of the world's most advanced and expensive weapons systems, Hasard Lee learned to master skills at the apex of decision-making theory and practice.

Now he shares gripping firsthand accounts from his time as a fighter pilot, and distills what he's learned into a powerful ACE Helix framework that can be used in business and in life, revealing how to:
• LEARN BETTER AND FASTER
• CULTIVATE MENTAL TOUGHNESS
• DEVELOP THE SKILLS TO QUICKLY ASSESS, CHOOSE, AND EXECUTE
• AND MUCH, MUCH MORE

These combat-tested techniques have already benefitted CEO's, astronauts, CIA agents and many others, and now The Art of Clear Thinking will enable anyone to perform at their peak.

Critic reviews

Who better to explain the virtues of clear thinking than a stealth fighter pilot whose life depends on it? Packed with gripping and memorable real-world examples, The Art of Clear Thinking gives us all a chance to learn from the best of the best.
Sophisticated and proven decision insights that will have you turning the page. I've incorporated Hasard's incredibly valuable decision-making tools into the complex world I experience daily, and you will too.
These death defying stories help readers learn about resourcefulness and planning when lives are on the line. And it also helps the executive to deal with adversity in a fluid situation where millions of dollars are at stake in the C-Suite. I relished reading this book and wholeheartedly recommend it without reservation.
I couldn't put it down. Even more than the heart-pounding fighter pilot stories, Hasard has some powerful and practical words of wisdom for any leader, on Earth or in space!
