b'One of the top fighter pilots in the world teaches readers to make clear decisions in everyday life. Hasard Lee is arguably the top fighter pilot in the US Air Force. Lee flies the F-35 joint strike stealth fighter, the most advanced (and expensive) fighter jet in the world. Pushing a cutting-edge fighter jet to its limits at almost twice the speed of sound means you have to perform at the very top of your game, and every split-second decision you make has potentially catastrophic consequences. For the vast majority of people, they\'ll never have to make those types of decisions with life and death hanging in the balance. Even if most of the decisions we make don\'t have quite that much drama, we still have myriad choices and game plans in our lives. Hasard Lee has taken what he\'s learned about decision-making from his years in the Air Force as an elite fighter pilot and pilot instructor, and applied it to the real world in his new book, THE ART OF CLEAR THINKING: A Stealth Fighter Pilot\'s Timeless Rules for Making Tough Decisions (St. Martin\'s Press, on sale date 5/23/23, $29.99). In THE ART OF CLEAR THINKING, Hasard distills what he\'s learned from his amazing career and compellingly and accessibly makes it applicable to the general readership. In his book he presents the ACE Helix - Assess, Choose, Execute - a three-part decision-making foundation that anyone can use, whether it\'s managing a team, developing a product for the marketplace or calming a boisterous family situation. Why a "helix" and not a loop as a graphed strategy? Hasard has found that decisions are dynamic, with side effects that rarely end up at the point they started. A decision framework needs to adapt. When graphed over time, this forms a helix.'
