I love the fact that literally ANYONE can pick up this book and gain several extremely powerful, practical, tools to utilize in their every day life. This book is NOT just for aspiring Rescue Swimmers, this book is for EVERYONE.Reading this book was a pleasure, to me it was more like watching a movie because of how well it flowed, Stephen Gonzalez is a talented writer who has a knack for breaking complicated "scenes" down into concise, easily imagined "chunks." I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges at the end of each chapter and the lessons or concepts being reinforced through those challenges.Stephen has certainly done his Rescue Swimmer brothers and sisters a service by writing this book, many of their stories will never be public knowledge. In a culture that glorifies professional athletes and movie stars as demi-gods and goddesses, this book highlights some of the quiet professionals that make up the ranks of the Coast Guard's Helicopter Rescue Swimmer program. Gonzalez vividly shares a glimpse into the constant training, and challenges faced by people who aren't being payed millions of dollars to simply play a game, people who do not have an "off season". Well done, excellent read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Having this book on my nightstand has me vaulting out of bed each morning, ready to tackle the day *by A***C on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2017* The Hero Factory has taken up residence on my bedside table. I have been using it as my morning motivation since it arrived a few weeks ago - I read a few pages each morning, to start my day. To say that this book inspires you to want to be your best self is no overstatement. Gonzalez has poetically described the grueling training, the courageous characters, and the dedication of those that teach and train as the Coast Guard's Aviation Survival Technicians - he shares openly the stories of a training program many of us will never experience firsthand, and generously invites us benefit from lessons learned. The book plunges you into Gonzalez's world, and inspires you to apply the same determination and never-quit attitude to your own training, your own life. And he does it with the captivating writing style of a well-written novel.I recommend this book to anyone who wants a behind-the-scenes look at the training and experiences of the AST's, and also to anyone who wants to be inspired to attack their dreams and goals with the unwavering vigor that Gonzalez and his peers model. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding! *by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017* Excellent read. Captures the rigors of "A" School from a perspective that's never been heard before and you won't want to put it down. Stephen is one of the most driven individuals I know... capped off by years of experience and research in his field. When you have that kind of a combination, nothing short of awesome is produced and that's what this story is. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/46751265-the-hero-factory-the-untold-story-of-helicopter-rescue-swimmer](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/46751265-the-hero-factory-the-untold-story-of-helicopter-rescue-swimmer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
