After devouring this book, I reflected on my years in the United States Air Force when I commanded Technical Training Detachments, served as a Operations officer for a Technical Training Wing and later served on the staff of the Air Force's Air Training Command as the Technical Training Operations Officer.  In my last capacity I was in charge of policy and procedures for all Technical Training conducted by the United States Air Force.  In my 27 year Air force career, I spent over 10 years involved in supervising people who taught technical/vocational training to the enlisted people in the Air Force who fixed the planes, maintained the infrastructure, repaired communications equipment, analyzed intelligence, etc. Many of the people undergoing the training were young people just out of high school and still had young, bright impressionable minds.If this book were available during my service when I worked with Technical Training in the United States Air Force, I would have done everything within my authority to ensure that each instructor involved in Air Force possessed a copy of the book and its sequel (Six Success Steps).  I would have encouraged and asked all the instructors to read the books and apply the principles in their classroom instruction.This book is that POWERFUL!I highly recommend every educator and teacher buy this book and its sequel and practice these principles in the classroom.Ed Benjamin, Colonel USAF (Retired)
