Here’s what the book writer William Gurstelle has to say about the book:

I’ve spent the last two years writing my just released book Absinthe and Flamethrowers: Ruminations on the Art of Living Dangerously. It’s an exploration of a single, important question: Are people who take risks happier than those who do not?

• To answer this, I had to define what I meant. Physical risks? Emotional risks? Monetary risks? I looked at it a number of ways and decided to focus on physical risk taking. Basically, I wanted to know if it was intrinsically better to be an Evel Knievel than a Caspar Milquetoast? Chuck Yeager or Niles Crain? Are lion tamers happier with their lives than monks?
• I found that moderate, rational risk takers are the people who are most satisfied with their lives. Studies show that people who take just a bit more risks than average tend to do better. To me, that’s a stunning conclusion.
• A and F has dozens of interesting ways to build risk taking skills. For instance, if you know what to do, a person can walk into a Home Depot and come out with everything they need to build a rocket. You can make gunpowder. You can throw knives, eat dangerous food, do all sorts of wonderful things. A and F will show you what to do.
