As human beings, we will inevitably go through a life-changing event at some point in our life. It could be losing a job of 20 years, finalizing a divorce, or leaving the military. These life-changing events can have disastrous effects on us and the people around us. Some of us never work through these events and end up unhappy and stuck in life. This happened to Nick when he left a 12-year career as a Marine Raider with the Marine Corps Special Operations Unit. For years, he was stuck with feelings of anger, indifference, and bitterness.

Story
Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians - but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.

On Combat looks at what happens to the human body under the stresses of deadly battle and the impact on the nervous system, heart, breathing, visual and auditory perception, memory - then discusses new research findings as to what measure warriors can take to prevent such debilitations so they can stay in the fight, survive, and win. A brief, but insightful look at history shows the evolution of combat, the development of the physical and psychological leverage that enables humans to kill other humans, followed by an objective examination of domestic violence in America.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things - a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

After serving in a scout-sniper platoon in Mosul, Tom Voss came home carrying invisible wounds of war - the memory of doing or witnessing things that went against his fundamental beliefs. This was not a physical injury that could heal with medication and time but a "moral injury" - a wound to the soul that eventually urged him toward suicide. Desperate for relief from the pain and guilt, Voss embarked on a 2,700-mile journey across America with a fellow veteran. Listeners walk with these men as they meet other veterans, Native American healers, and spiritual teachers.

Valuable Insight and Truth
The information and stories within this book are nothing short of transformational. Being able to hear the personal struggles of the Authors lends a sort of weight and authenticity to the ideas that they present. In a world overstuffed with self-help gimmicks and promised success with very little effort, this book stands apart with its genuine recognition that life is struggle and hard work is necessary. I was able to find profound liberation in the idea that there is nothing wrong, but instead life has trained me a certain way. With that knowledge came the freedom to start doing the hard work to start finding purpose in my life again.
This book is a must read for everyone. It presents a new way of looking at life and can provide a roadmap for becoming the best version of yourself.

Struggling. Well.
As a veteran and someone who has struggled with PTSD for nearly 15 years, I found this book and its approach to be a break from the norm. I received a great deal of insight into PTG and what it really is. Thank you to the authors for this effort.

Ken Falke, a man who hands out life.
I was in Ken Falke,s company less than 24 hours. I can say with confidence and pride " I know him " he is genuinely and openly vunerable. time spent listening to his mindset is at face value the huge value. I pulled over a mile from Boldercrest, downloaded this combat/disaster master's bible. officer survival is so much more than your daughter knowing what the sound of Velcro ripping at six AM Saturday morning means and don't get murdered at work tonight.
any ass kicker with hail damage will end their search for " PTSD HELP "
I'm preparing for a future of new service missions, with a new team.
thank you,
YOU ARE A GREAT MAN.

Makes You Think
There are a lot of concepts in this book that, when lumped together, are labled as Post Traumatic Growth.
I believe that while nothing is inherently new to the book does a good job of piecing things together in a way that makes it digestible and applicable.
Some parts were challenging for me even as I have grown in those areas tremendously meaning that no matter how far anyone has come there's always areas that will require your attention.

Profound and genuinely helpful
There are a lot of self help books out there, and concepts like power of attraction, yoga and a lot of other things. But none I feel actually touches the core of trauma healing. Ken and Josh's Struggle Well does that. Because both Ken and Josh struggled in their own lives and healed. It touches on yoga, meditation and wellness practices, but we need to serve/help others in some way to get the full benefit, and have a support system of genuine friends. I think they hit the Bull's eye with this. With real life experiences that most struggling with trauma can understand, the book gives hope and support that "struggling well" is possible indeed. My prayers and best wishes for their Boulder Crest retreat centers in Virginia and Colorado.
