Sinossi
Nel 2012, Eric Greitens. ex Navy Seal, riceve un'inattesa telefonata da un suo ex commilitone, Zach Walker è sempre stato un vero osso duro e un eccellente soldato, ma da quando è tornato a casa dalla guerra si è trovate di fronte a un muro di difficoltà: improvvisamente privo di obiettivi, afflitto da disturbi post traumatici da stress, affoga la sua sofferenza nell'alcol. Eric decide di porgergli un aiuto concreto e inizia a scrivergli, offrendo una serie di riflessioni che ruotano intorno al concetto di resilienza. una qualità che dovrebbe essere familiare a chi ha dovuto superare i durissimi addestramenti dci corpi speciali, ma che Greiten ci insegna ad applicare alla vita di tutti i giorni. Nessuno di noi può sfuggire a1 dolore, alla paura e alla sofferenza, ma la resilienza può aiutarci a far nascere dal dolore la saggezza, dalla paura il coraggio, dalla sofferenza la forza. Le lettere di Eric attingono alla sua esperienza di Navy Seal e alla saggezza appresa dai pensatori antichi e moderni, e sono qui raccolte per dimostrarci come la determinazione e l'arte della resilienza possono aiutarci a raggiungere obiettivi, superare il dolore, sviluppare la nostra vocazione, creare felicità e molto altro.

Recensioni
In a different time, a different place this would not be a 5 star book but for our culture and our time it is a reminder of virtues and values we have almost lost. It takes the form of a series of letters from one former SEAL to another one suffering from PTSD. I loved all the classical references.
The format of the book follows a series of correspondence between two Navy Seals, back in the civilian world. One is failing to cope, the other is trying to help. The author's letters are filled with references to philosophy, poetry, and basic self-help principles. The core of the book revolves arou Leggi tutto
Fantastic book by Navy Seal and PhD Eric Greitens, who also wrote "The Heart and the Fist" - another recommended read - and who has been named one of the most influential leaders in America.

Before you read another word of this, go buy this book, bring it into your home and read it, or maybe read it in the bookstore, or read it on your tablet, or have someone read it to you. Just read it. Then sit quietly for a moment, and read it again (OK, I haven't quite done this part yet, but I'm b Leggi tutto
This is the best book I've read all year, and certainly one of the best I've read in the last few. This book offers a lot of wisdom for someone looking to engage life's challenges and grow along the way. Greitens applies the principles he learned with the SEALS and timeless wisdom from Socrates to S Leggi tutto
My dear Wormwood, As a young Tempter, let loose out of Hell, you will find very quickly that books written in letter format almost never work out. This book is supposed to be tough, practical advice from one veteran Navy SEAL to another about dealing with PTSD, readjusting to civilian life, and becom Leggi tutto
Fantastic book. I would give it five stars but for the pervasive "even men can read books and have feelings too" theme. I don't fault the author for weaving that into his otherwise really well-written book since his target seems to be guys who believe being manly involves not reading or acknowledgin Leggi tutto
This is THE BEST “self-help” book I’ve ever read. One of the best books I’ve ever read of all time. Not all of the information or suggestions were new to me, but the author has a way of putting them together AND he gives plenty of examples to demonstrate concepts or how to put things into action 💯 Leggi tutto
