Chasing the Surge by Raymond E. Foster, a book of real-life stories exploring leadership, empathy, and the American experience

Chasing the Surge: Ten Thousand Rides into the American Night

Chasing the Surge is a reflective journey through thousands of late-night encounters that reveal the quiet truths of leadership, vulnerability, and the human condition. Drawn from real conversations and lived moments, Raymond E. Foster observes the lives people lead when the masks come off and the night invites honesty.

Moving through stories of struggle, resilience, regret, humor, and hope, the book captures America not as it is presented, but as it is confessed. These are moments rarely recorded—fleeting exchanges that illuminate how people cope with loss, responsibility, ambition, and survival.

Chasing the Surge is not about answers. It is about listening, witnessing, and understanding what emerges when lives briefly intersect. For readers interested in leadership, empathy, and the unseen currents that shape human behavior, this book offers a deeply human perspective on the stories we carry and the moments that shape us.

Some stories stay with you because they reveal something true.
