Living in a turbulent world with peace and tranquility requires that you "get your mind right". That means slowing down, silencing your inner critic, and accepting what is - especially dealing with the difficult emotions that arise when you confront volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.

This is my first attempt at writing a laugh-out-loud comedy. It is a satirical look at what it’s like for your average 18-year-old who joins the elite British Army Parachute Regiment. From the initial shock of leaving home to the pride on donning the famous Maroon Beret. However, this is not your typical book. The story is narrated by a very clever and sarcastic fly. If this fly were to be compared to a human, it would probably be a morphed version of Jeremy Clarkson and Billy Connelly.
