About the Author

Who better than a guy who spends his work days six miles above the earth—cruising along at 400 knots with the lives of hundreds of people in his hands—to show us a thing or two about living life to its fullest?

Airline pilot James Green decided long ago that he would "listen to the whisper" and not let life pass him by. Because of one newspaper article he read in his early 20’s, he became obsessed with controlling his future and living his life without regrets. He acted immediately: Soon he was off to Africa for the first of what would become an ongoing series of incredible adventures. Now an author, speaker, teacher, small business owner, loving husband and father, and pilot for one of the world’s largest airlines, Jim Green is still a man on a mission.

Jim Green’s world-class experiences led to a world-class insight: Most of us are not living life to its fullest. We live either with hindsight—looking back at what might have been—or with unfulfilled longing for the future. Having been driven to control his future and live without regrets, he began asking people about their choices, their dreams, and their "wish I had a do-over" moments. His first book, If There’s One Thing I’ve Learned, is an inspiring and life-affirming collection of everyday epiphanies from people recalling pivotal moments in their lives. The stories speak of life’s lost and found: love, time, career, money, dreams, childhood. As an interviewer Jim has a knack for guiding subjects through the most powerful memories, deepest insights, and turning points in their lives.
