Dare to Fly

Simple Lessons in Never Giving Up

De: Martha McSally

Narrado por: Courtney Patterson

"Like the A-10 aircraft she flew in combat, retired colonel and fighter pilot Martha McSally is a gritty individual who loves our Air Force and personified its core values of excellence, integrity, and service before self, while standing up to make it a better institution for everyone who serves. How to be resolute, do the right thing, persevere, find gratitude, and learn compassion are just some of the lessons in her inspirational life story." (Ron Fogleman, general (ret.), US Air Force; former Air Force chief of staff)

Combining the soulful honesty of Make Your Bed with the inspiring power of You Are a Badass, America’s first female combat jet pilot and former Arizona Senator Martha McSally shows you how to clear the runway of your life: embrace fear, transform doubt, succeed when you are expected to fail, and soar to great heights in this motivational life guide.

Martha McSally is an extraordinary achiever whose inner strength and personal principles have helped her overcome adversity throughout her life. Initially rejected from Air Force flight school because she was too short, she refused to give up, becoming the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat and the first to command a combat fighter squadron in United States history. During her 26-year military career, she fought to free American servicewomen stationed in the Middle East from restrictions requiring them to don black full-body abayas and ride in the backs of cars - and won. McSally has continued to serve America, first in the House of Representatives and then as a US senator from Arizona.

McSally is also a survivor. She shares how her experiences propelled her to become a fighter for justice in and out of the cockpit. In this powerful, uplifting audiobook, McSally reflects on her successes and failures, shares key principles that have guided her, and reveals invaluable lessons to break barriers, thrive through darkness, and make someone proud in your life. "Courage isn’t magic or genetics. It is a choice. By choosing to do things afraid, you discover your own power to overcome".

Filled with fresh stories and insights, Dare to Fly will help each of us find the courage inside to break our barriers, endure turbulence, and keep flying high.

An Exceptional Book !

Having been an Army Nurse in Vietnam & on active duty for 4 years, I couldn’t stop listening:) Martha is truly an exceptional and courageous leader, who happens to be female! Her life has been & continues to be based on integrity. Bless her family, her Dad for his life lessons & encouragement & love & a fabulous example of a human. Her strong mother & siblings who let her live to grow up:) ( spoken as an only girl with 4 brothers :) ). They all have supported her always, a priceless gift. She is still a stand up person in the Senate for the rights of all people, all are God’s children. A must read. Thank you, Senator Mc Sally for this book and for being you, the best. God bless you.
