“Firefighter Zen never disappoints; story after story is pitch-perfect. It is astonishingly good.”
—Amy C. Edmondson, professor at Harvard Business School and author of The Fearless Organization
“Hersch Wilson has written one of the best books I’ve read in the last decade. He’s wrapped up perennial wisdom and practical advice in a little over 200 pages. I consider him and his life experience as a master guide in sharing essential wisdom on how we might choose to live our lives. In 47 years of doing New Dimensions, I’ve not made as strong a recommendation for the book.”
—Justine Willis Toms, Co-founder and Host of New Dimension Radio
“Full of heart-pounding 9-1-1 calls and timeless spiritual truths, Wilson’s book describes the many challenges and intense hardships firefighters and EMTs endure but also offers a blueprint on how to thrive, maintain our humanity, and find transcendence on the other side.”
—Kevin Grange, Lights and Sirens: The Education of a Paramedic
