Ron Peterson was born a congenital introvert but learned to use it to his advantage and even overcome his shyness when necessary. From humble beginnings, he emerged with a PhD in physics to play a role in many important scientific discoveries and became a key executive in Honeywell, one of America's largest corporations. Along the way he worked with Nobel Prize winners, testy bosses, altruists, and people hanging on the edge of society, learning from each of them. This often-humorous memoir is chock full of life lessons for us all. Author Bio: Retired but working on multiple fascinating projects, Ron would still rather play with his grandchildren than argue with overly opinionated adults. He lives in Minnesota with his patient and tolerant wife, Miriam, who tries to keep his feet on the ground while his head remains in the stars. Reviews: Read An Introvert Learns to Fly for its keen perspective on society and history and for its models for living, thinking, and conducting discourse.
