A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Quinn Hartley grew up with eyes fixed on the sky and a restless curiosity about what it would take to leave the ground. Long before earning a pilot's license, Hartley was already chasing altitude in other forms - testing limits, questioning rules, and studying what gives people the courage to rise when everything around them insists on gravity. A lifelong adventurer and writer, Hartley has spent years exploring how the disciplines of flight-precision, awareness, adaptability-mirror the skills we need to navigate modern life. In The Book On Taking Flight, Hartley brings together lessons learned in the cockpit with insights from psychology, performance science, and philosophy. The result isn't just a manual on aviation-it's a meditation on freedom, risk, and focus in an era that feels increasingly out of control. Hartley writes for those who are grounded not by fear but by uncertainty, showing how the principles of flight-lift, drag, thrust, and balance-can become a blueprint for reclaiming control and rediscovering purpose. When not writing or flying, Hartley can often be found studying weather charts, rebuilding old gear, or helping others take their own first flights-whether that means a literal takeoff or a leap into something entirely new.
