The author Eric Greitens was a Rhodes Scholar who studied at Oxford, who also went on many global treks where he worked with the poorest of the poor around the world. From war-torn Rwanda to the incredible poverty of orphans in Bolivia. He saw where help was needed and realized that these people needed more than food and shelter...they needed someone to stop the genocide. So he became the best of the best--a Navy SEAL.Eric is modest..just tells his story with love, empathy, and incredible compassion. These are NOT the three adjectives when you first think of our fighting forces. He brings humanity to the world that most of us dismiss...We hear that 8 MILLION people were killed in the Congo genocide--tribe vs tribe, then just move on to the next story that catches our eye.THEN Eric returns from active duty overseas and finds that our vets are being “thrown awayâ€, discarded by the USA and Veterans Affairs. (To be fair now that CEO Robert A. McDonald is the new secretary of the VA, we are seeing great improvements.) Many vets committing suicide, many homeless or unemployed. What do you do with the skills you learned fighting in Fallujah? Where you faced constant death from an enemy from many different sides. The Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Boka Harum, and ISIS much less the enemy hidden in the craggy mountains of Afghanistan or in crumbling buildings and desert of Iraq. Unwinnable wars. And Eric decides to DO something. He created “The Mission Continues.†A support group AND a trust to help these returning vets NOT with charity but teaching them skills to learn to be someone else than a soldier, marine, airman or sailor. and not just skills, but a brotherhood and sisterhood where Vets could relate. Because only a returning vet truly understands what war does to your mind, spirit and mind. Eric now has three books. Read them all. Then help our returning vets. A “Thank you for your service†does nothing to help our vets return to society. This is a GREAT book!
Good book but I am more disappointed about the author since he has been in the news about his sexual accusations.
This is a young adult version of "The Heart and the Fist". Not much new for me since I had previously read "The Heart and the Fist". I bought this book to give to my 15-year-old grandson, so it's very appropriate for that. If you are an adult, I would recommend "The Heart and the Fist", by Eric Greitens (same author) instead of this book.
Given that Greiten's work is a scaled down version of his earlier " The Heart And The Fist " the author does a wonderful job of melding his divergent experiences together while, at the same time, presents clear and not to be forgotten lessons for young readers. A must read when one considers mental toughness and living a life of purpose.
After hearing Eric Greitens speak at a university commencement earlier this year, I was eager to read The Warrior's Heart: Becoming a Man of Courage and Compassion, an adaptation of his book The Heart and the Fist. Mr. Greitens is an engaging speaker - someone whose words challenge, uplift and inspire. He is refreshing, sincere and really quite remarkable. I worried that his book would not come close to the "real life" version of his message, but I was wrong.The Warrior's Heart is a thoroughly captivating narrative of Mr. Greitens' journey to become "a man of compassion and courage." It is a quick read, pulling readers in by putting them into various "what would you do?" scenarios. Woven throughout the book are examples of civic engagement as well as character lessons. Integrity, duty, service, perseverance, kindness, commitment, and yes, courage and compassion, are illustrated in Mr. Greitens' experiences from China to Croatia, Bosnia to Bolivia and eventually in his Navy SEAL training. The message never comes across as preachy, only illuminating and enlightening. This book is action-packed, yet poignant and thought-provoking.Mr. Greitens asks readers to "be more than just good, and better than just strong" by doing more than just "living for ourselves." I enjoyed this book and its message immensely. As a community leader charged with promoting civic and character education in our schools, I am excited about sharing this book with educators and students throughout my state. It has the power to motivate and inspire young people to become men and women who make a difference - people of compassion and courage.
My son is over forty. I sent him this for Christmas, writing only that "some of this is not for you" so he would get that I did not consider him a teen.Eric Greitens might write in short chapters, even as Dan Brown did in "The Vinci Code." But what he tells and how he tells it of personal enounters with real hard challenges, most ones he has chosen for growth, rivets a reader.This is a brief review and if it is to serve anyone, it has to help someone decide if this is his cup of tea. Don't buy this book if you cannot be inspired when you are too old to even dream of becoming a Navy Seal. I was a conscientious objector when Vietnam was raging. Eric Greitens is a conscientious and compassionate warrior way far along a path as humanitarian. I nominate him for a Nobel Prize for Peace.
This book reads like a primer on how to "grow up" and do something significant no matter how big or small the "what gets done" is. Mr Greitens has done well in describing the multitude of problems which need work and provides sources to be involved. He put his life on the line, no small feat. In the end, we are all brothers and sisters - we need each other and this book shows how first steps can be taken whether as a SEAL or as a volunteer to put our lives on the line for others. Great read.
I enjoyed reading this book very much. I think this book is a very interesting story of what a person can do if he or she really puts in the effort.I also think the story is good for all people not just the young. I am in my sixties and I have been showing service for most of my life. It is rewarding helping others to be as successful as they can be.
