From the streets of Chicago to the launch control centers of America's nuclear force, from beating the odds in a near-fatal medical crisis to running marathons across Europe-this is the extraordinary story of a man who refused to quit. In My Good Life, Lee traces a remarkable journey that defies expectation at every turn. Born into poverty on Chicago's South Side, he faced bullying, loss, and the racial tensions of the 1960s. Yet through grit, curiosity, and an unshakable work ethic, he carved a path few believed possible-becoming a U.S. Air Force officer, earning advanced degrees, programming cutting-edge military computer systems, traveling the world, and pushing his body to limits he never imagined. But his greatest test came decades later, when a sudden ruptured aorta nearly claimed his life. Surviving against a 20% chance, he emerged with renewed clarity and a desire to leave a legacy-one that captures his triumphs, failures, close calls, and the philosophies that shaped him. My Good Life is more than a memoir. It is a testament to resilience, discipline, faith in possibility, and the belief that one person's determination can alter the trajectory of an entire life. Inspiring, candid, and deeply human, this book is a gift to his children, grandchildren, and anyone seeking proof that no dream is out of reach.
