Publisher Description: The word perspicacity is not only a favorite of author Dan Kerstein, it is his mantra as well. The simple definition of this word is acute mental awareness-the ability to be constantly aware of one's physical surroundings. Over the course of his life, Kerstein has learned that successful businesses are run by 'survivalists", people who can observe and understand what is going on in the 360-degree circle that surrounds them at any given time.
