You just boarded a flight to New York. There are one hundred and forty-three other passengers onboard. What you don’t know is that thirty minutes before the flight your pilot’s family was kidnapped. For his family to live, everyone on your plane must die. The only way the family will survive is if the pilot follows his orders and crashes the plane. Enjoy the flight.

Six minutes after takeoff, Flight 1421 crashes into the Pacific Ocean. During the evacuation, an engine explodes and the plane is flooded. Those still alive are forced to close the doors—but it’s too late. The plane sinks to the bottom with twelve passengers trapped inside. More than two hundred feet below the surface, engineer Will Kent and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon are waist-deep in water and fighting for their lives.

You became a teacher to help others, but the never-ending barrage of new standards, curricula, data collection, classroom behavior issues, parent demands, and admin expectations make teaching one of the most stressful jobs in the world. New trends in stress management, self-growth, and “happiness hacking” are abundant. But most of the information and advice seems to miss the mark with teachers or ignore them completely - underestimating just how little time you have.
