I've read a lot of self help books over the years. THIS is really what I needed to strengthen myself to handle personal challenges I have in my life. I read the book, listened to the CD, now I have the book for Christmas I'll be ordering the CD's for my road trips. This is the positive, encouraging, kick yourself in the butt and get moving advice that everyone should have. The younger generation who are probably spoiled by their luxurious circumstances of today's world need this. Whether they realize it or not, we are all quite spoiled today when we compare ourselves to the "Greatest Generation" of years ago.. The middle aged people who struggle with any type of problem need this. The older generation who think their best years and vitality have passed them by need this. I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially those who have struggled, and those who struggle now, with either disciplining themselves to make their life better or to make a change in the world, or an illness or infirmity. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. Thank you Eric Greitens for sharing your knowledge of literature, ancient stories and the challenges of your friend. Somehow it's easy to listen to and accept your advice because I know you're not kicking my butt, you're kicking your friend's butt. Then I think about it, absorb it, and realize that your advice to your friend directly applies to me. Insightful, thought provoking, and life changing. I read some negative reviews on this previously, but I think the specifics they criticized are moot points. One criticized Greiten's use of ancient literature, but it directly applies to his topics. Some criticize Greiten's writing style, and say that the writing style is poor...but this is a moot point, as this is designed as letters to a friend, which have been modified, and now can be applied to others seeking sage wisdom from a Navy Seal.Read full review
