A unique survival guide for an uncertain world - from Kevin Fong, doctor, expert in major-incident planning and response, NASA physician and writer-presenter of the hit podcast 13 Minutes to the Moon

No plan survives the first five minutes of contact with reality – so how should we prepare for what follows?

Kevin Fong has spent his working life in high-risk, high-performance teams – flying as a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service doctor, working with NASA’s human spaceflight programme, as well as being part of the UK’s frontline response to major incidents and terror attacks.

Told through gripping stories of the most challenging, high-pressure emergencies across medicine, aviation and spaceflight, Minute Six provides crucial, counter-intuitive insights into how the best teams and organisations succeed against the odds, learn from failure and go again.

Critic Reviews

For anyone seeking to understand how high-performance teams truly navigate uncertainty this book is an invaluable guide and a powerful testament to the human spirit (TIM PEAKE, astronaut)
Enthralling from start to finish. Fong captures brilliantly the stomach-clenching drama of striving for excellence on the brink of chaos. No-one is better placed to dissect how humans best navigate our complex, volatile high-stakes world (RACHEL CLARKE, author of The Story of a Heart)
Humane, gripping and profound. Kevin Fong has written a book only he could write. His approach gives all of us a chance to achieve the impossible (CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN, author of Ultra-Processed People)
Easily the best book I’ve read this year, full of exceptional storytelling. No-one should have to learn lessons this hard, but Kevin Fong has stared down the abyss again and again, made sense of the impossible, and brought that perspective back to make the world a better place (HELEN CZERSKI, author of Blue Machine)
Inspiring tales of people at their very best, and a moving reminder of the resilience, courage and hope that carry us through life’s toughest moments (OLIVIA COLMAN, Academy Award-winning actor)
This gripping, essential book is a masterclass in human resilience and a blueprint for navigating the unknown (DAVID NOTT, author of War Doctor)
Kevin Fong brilliantly cuts across disciplines to give rare, useful tools and insights. A must-read for anyone making big decisions when short on information (CHRIS HADFIELD, astronaut)
One of the clearest and most human examinations I’ve read of how people and organizations adapt under pressure when the stakes are highest. This book belongs on the shelf of every leader responsible for others in uncertain environments (Gen. STANLEY McCHRYSTAL, author of Team of Teams)
A vivid page-turner and a must-read manual for how teams and leaders can work effectively in the face of irreducible uncertainty (ANIL SETH, author of Being You)
Compelling, compassionate and wise (CLAUDIA HAMMOND, author of Overwhelmed)
