Firefighter Zen – a Field Guide to thriving in tough times

This is a new interview. When I received a copy of Firefighter Zen, I knew I wanted to interview Hersch Wilson. Each of five sections applies the firefighter’s experience to everyone’s lives. Readers learn to maintain perspective and equilibrium even in the midst of urgency and to prepare for adversity as well as aftermath and recovery. Finally, six key strategies for thriving in the face of difficulty include practical exercises and real-world advice. Every life contains the unexpected and the unwelcome. Since how we cope with those inevitable events, more than the events themselves, defines the quality of our lives, Firefighter Zen is an invaluable guide to meeting every day with our best calm, creative, and optimistic selves. He is a Minnesota native and went to St. Olaf College.  herschwilson.com
