Fighter pilots are undoubtedly some of the most stress-tested people around. They are extremely good at coping with strain and stress, and are able to get the best performance out of themselves at all times. Only the very best survive selection procedures and training. Ralph Eckhardt was one of them and flew the supersonic "Tornado" for years as a fighter pilot. In this book, he shares his extensive knowledge and provides the reader with methods and food for thought to act better, more efficiently, more safely and more resiliently in everyday life, both as a private pilot and as a "normal person".
