"The Way Forward will help every reader master their own
challenges--this is a must-read book!" --Admiral Bill McRaven, U.S. Navy
(Retired) and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Make Your
Bed
American Sniper meets Make Your Bed in these life lessons from
decorated United States service members and New York Times bestselling
authors Robert O'Neill and Dakota Meyer--an in-depth, fearless, and
ultimately redemptive account of what it takes to survive and thrive on
battlefields from Afghanistan and Iraq to our daily lives, and how the
perils of war help us hold onto our humanity.
Rob O'Neill and Dakota Meyer are two of the most decorated and
recognized US service members: O'Neill killed the world's most wanted
man, Osama bin Laden, and Meyer was the first living Marine to receive
the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War. But beyond their actions and
courage in combat, O'Neill and Meyer also have much in common in
civilian life: they are both sought-after public speakers, advocates for
veterans, and share a non-PC sense of humor. Combining the best of
military memoirs and straight-talking self-help, The Way Forward
alternates between O'Neill's and Meyer's perspectives, looking back with
humor at even the darkest war stories, and sharing lessons they learned
along the way.
The Way Forward presents O'Neill and Meyer's philosophy in combat and
life. This isn't a book about the glory of war and combat, but one about
facing your enemies, some who are flesh and blood and some that are not:
Your thoughts. Your doubts. Your boredom and your regrets. From Rob's
dogged repetition at the free throw line of his childhood basketball
court to Dakota's pursuit of EMT and firefighter credentials to aid
accident victims, these two American heroes turn their experiences into
valuable lessons for every reader.
Gritty and down-to-earth, O'Neill and Meyer tell their stories with
candor and vulnerability to help readers handle stress, tackle their
biggest obstacles, and exceed their expectations of themselves, while
keeping life's battles in perspective with a sense of humor.
