Jordan
Peterson's Twelve Rules for Life meets Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's Extreme
Ownership in this tough-love leadership book from a Navy SEAL and rising star
in Republican politics.
In 2012, on his third tour of
duty, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed
and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what
doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision.
And yet, he persevered,
completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell
ourselves about the hardships we face - we can become paralyzed by adversity or
we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude.
Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.
Most people's everyday
challenges aren't as extreme as surviving combat, and yet our society is more
fragile than ever: exploding with outrage, drowning in microaggressions, and
devolving into divisive mob politics. The American spirit - long characterized
by grit and fortitude - is unraveling. We must fix it.
That's exactly what Crenshaw
accomplishes with Fortitude. This book isn't about the problem, it's about the
solution. And that solution begins with each and every one of us. We must all
lighten up, toughen up, and begin treating our fellow Americans with respect
and grace.
Fortitude is a no-nonsense
advice book for finding the strength to deal with everything from menial daily
frustrations to truly difficult challenges. More than that, it is a roadmap for
a more resilient American culture. With meditations on perseverance, failure,
and finding much-needed heroes, the book is the antidote for a prevailing "safety
culture" of trigger warnings and safe spaces. Interspersed with lessons
from history and psychology is Crenshaw's own story of how an average American
kid from the Houston suburbs went from war zones to the halls of Congress - and
managed to navigate his path with a sense of humor and an even greater sense
that, no matter what anyone else around us says or does, we are in control of
our own destiny.
