'Compelling, authentic, and relatable - simply superb advice in life and leadership' - Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret) 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO

It was a moment that captured the attention of the world: Brett Crozier, captain of the most prestigious aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy, walked off his ship for the last time while thousands of his sailors saluted and chanted his name in admiration. Crozier had made the decision to try to protect his sailors by pleading with his superiors for help when COVID-19 had swept through the vessel. Two days later, he was relieved of command.

Now, Crozier reflects on his life, career, and commitment to doing the right thing in a book that celebrates the power of kindness, the importance of teamwork, and the value of standing up for what you believe in. Through a series of captivating stories set all around the world, Crozier takes us along on the grand adventures of his extraordinary career and introduces the incredible people he met along the way.

From his days as fighter pilot facing near-death experiences to commandeering suspected pirate vessels in the Persian Gulf, and, of course, seizing any opportunity to enjoy one of his favourite hobbies - surfing - Crozier distils the lessons he has learned and the principles that have guided him, showing how you can apply them to your personal and professional life.
