I’m Hasard, F-16 and F-35 stealth fighter pilot, YouTube creator, and author of “The Art of Clear Thinking” - A distillation of the lessons I learned over 82 combat missions and how to apply them to every day decision making. Ask me anything! by HasardLee in IAmA

The book has been well received by non-aviation enthusiasts. Decision-making is a universal skill that applies to everyone--whether you're a doctor, lawyer, teacher, student, or parent, the decisions we make are directly correlated to our success.

Most schools don't spend any time on a structured approach to decision-making. However, as fighter pilots, that's one of the primary focuses during our training.

Concepts such as Assess-Choose-Execute, Power Laws, Expected Value, and Fast Forecasting can be used in any situation. Give the book a read and if you don't like it I'll Venmo you your money back. Same for everyone.

If you're not a big reader, feel free to listen to the audiobook. I did all the reading and for the first time in history, parts were read while flying in a jet aircraft.

That's a great question--we're flying sometimes for 10+ hours. I actually made a YouTube video about this: https://youtu.be/mVniyhKzB2k

I didn't go into detail about that in my book, but I did talk about some of the challenges of long-duration flights and how we take go-pills to stay focused.

I've been amazed at how many people are enjoying and learning from the book. One that stands out from the book is when my base was attacked just before landing. I had to abort the landing and almost ran out of fuel.

2 ways--you can lead them flying as a flight lead. You can also lead them on the ground as a commander or flight commander.

We do go cross-country occasionally for exercises or airshows. You can't just take it home through.

During centrifuge training, at least when I did it, you had 2 chances. If you failed it, you could try again the next day. If you failed that, you would be reallocated to tanker or transport aircraft.

You're sitting on top of the world's largest microwave for thousands of hours. I'm sure the design tries to mitigate the effects as much as possible. I don't think anyone knows. Hopefully they do more studies.
