About this title

From the Back Cover:

Those who struggle with anger often appear to lead normal, contented lives. Lee Paulson was such a person until he nearly killed his wife one night during an argument.

This book is a first person account of his ten-year struggle to learn appropriate ways of expressing his anger. Written in layman's language by an individual who has been there and done that, this book does not preach, judge or lecture. It simply tells the story of a man struggling to find his freedom.

Angry people are not defective, bad or evil. They are simply people who have not yet learned how to make choices which serve them. Lee eventually discovers that, with practice, new behaviors can be learned. New choices can be made.

And, when he takes up flying, he comes to understand that learning how to stay safe in the air is no different from learning how to act appropriately on the ground. Indeed, acquiring the skills necessary to become pilot in command of an airplane is but one aspect of learning how to be pilot in command of his life.
