Synopsis

Work ethic and other crucial real-world concepts and skills are often overlooked, misunderstood, and even outright perplexing. Fortunately it is possible to illustrate these vital ideas in a way that's meaningful, relatable, and memorable - they just have to be clearly distilled, wrapped in adventure, and seasoned with a bit of chaos and wit.

"The Viking's Guide" is a winding and unpredictable saga packed with unhinged enemy hordes, colossal beasts, toxic villains, and a heroic tribe of brazen but slightly flawed warriors. Mad Hadley, Olga the She Bear, Feral Dave and an eclectic cast of Vikings experince epic success and failure in a Norse world fraught with both danger and opportunity.

Crafted in a hard-charging yet witty style and gleaned from a wide array of actual people and events, "The Vikings Guide" clearly illustrates the value of initiative, flexibility, persistence, teamwork, self-improvement, emotional control, compartmentalization, informal leadership, and much, much more.

Their twisting and often humorous journey is marked by extraordinary victories and grizzly defeats, and ultimately the more cunning and determined warriors realize their own brand of success.

Come along and explore the Viking world in chapters including: The Pure Magic of Initiative; The Golden Rule of Reputation; Who You Know?; Grow or Be Bludgeoned; Opportunity Knocks Quietly; Tough Times, Tough Teachers; People, People, and People;The Great Golden Key of Flexibility; Mad Dog Persistence; Bite Off More Than You Can Chew; and much, much more...

A quick note from the author: Thanks for looking at my book. It’s the product of some of the most challenging real world experience out there, and I wrote it simply because I thought it was important and relevant in today’s highly competitive world.

The Viking’s Guide contains material that isn’t covered in the classroom, and it’s a product of both my tenure as a Smokejumper and my good fortune in rubbing elbows with some of the hardest chargers in some of the world’s most demanding professions.

I hope you enjoy it.
