"Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters" is an excellent autobiography by Captain Chesley Sullenberger. It gives a narrative of all the experiences in life that have shaped him into who he is and allowed him to defy the odds and land his crippled plane safely. Captain Sully also shares his unique and distinct philosophy of life; of how he is a long-term optimist and short-term realist. Also featured in the text is the impact of deregulation on the airline industry and how public perception has made a turn for the worse towards aviation professionals. In his humbling account of his life, he reminds us that even in the world we live in today, there is still opportunity to do great things and conquer the seemingly unconquerable. This book about teamwork, communication, and collaboration is a must-read for everyone!
