An Introvert Learns to Fly

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.
