Book excerpt: We're all broken in some way-but "broken" is not forever. In fact, it's just part of the story of how we build our legacies. Entrepreneur and US Marine Korey Shaffer's road through life was tougher than most. After returning from a harrowing tour of duty in Afghanistan, and still aching from his troubled childhood and adolescence, Shaffer felt his chance to leave something of value to the world might have passed. But even in despair, he knew that many did not return home at all, or returned more broken than he was. Determined that the wounded and fallen not be abandoned or forgotten, Shaffer founded the Til Valhalla Project, an organization devoted to honoring the fallen and preventing veteran suicides. Til Valhalla unexpectedly proved to be Shaffer's salvation as well. Sharing intimate details from his square-peg childhood, reckless adolescence, brotherhood-seeking teen years, and traumatic experiences in combat and back home, Shaffer demonstrates that society doesn't dictate who we are or will be-that is up to us. The path to who we can become lies through careful, daily exercise of will, repetition, and affirmation. Shaffer is convinced that the discipline he drew from this struggle can be of use to others. What it takes to overcome the broken state, Shaffer contends, is a willingness to face pain head-on and use adversity as rocket fuel to regain purpose and create resilience. In Legacy Mindset: Take Charge of Today and Build Extreme Resilience, Shaffer lays out the sinews and bones of the daily discipline that allowed him to repair what was broken and build upon it. He challenges us to: -Evaluate whether our pain is constructive or destructive -Reassess what things in life we assign value to -Radically change our daily habits by practicing micro-disciplines -Trust our intuition when it is telling us to speak up -Commit to excellence in everything we do-even when no one is watching

People dismiss her as a relic, but world peace is more fragile than they know. In Valhalla, a clandestine base hidden in an icy ravine, Violet connects with a group of outcasts just like her. There, she learns the skills she needs to keep the world safe from genetically enhanced criminals and traitors who threaten the first friends she’s ever known. She also meets Wulfgar Kray, a genius gang leader who knows her better than she knows herself and who would conquer the world to capture her. Branded from childhood as a useless barbarian, Violet is about to learn the world needs her exactly as she is. 1st Edition published by Ari Bach: August 2010, March 2012.

Download or read book The Rift Uprising written by Amy S. Foster and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “High emotional stakes and an intriguing premise make this first entry in Foster’s new trilogy a solid next read for those who enjoyed Pierce Brown’s Red Rising or Veronica Roth’s Divergent." -- Library Journal An alternate reality that feels all-too-real, The Rift Uprising is the explosive start to a new trilogy that blurs the line between parallel universes—not to mention YA and adult science fiction—from acclaimed lyricist and storyteller Amy S. Foster. Normal seventeen-year-old girls go to high school, binge watch TV shows all weekend, and flirt with everyone on the face of the Earth. But Ryn Whitaker is trying to save it. Ryn is a Citadel. A soldier. A liar. Ryn and her fellow Citadels were specially chosen and trained to guard a Rift—one of fourteen unpredictable tears in the fabric of the universe that serve as doorways to alternate Earths. Unbeknownst to her family, Ryn leaves for school each day and then reports for duty as an elite, cybernetically-altered soldier who can run faster, jump farther, and fight better than a Navy SEAL—which comes in handy when she’s not sure if axe-wielding Vikings or any number of other scared and often dangerous beings come through the Rift. A fine-tuned weapon, Ryn is a picture-perfect Citadel. But that’s all about to change. When a young man named Ezra is pulled through the Rift, Ryn finds herself immediately drawn to him, despite her training. What starts as a physical attraction quickly grows deeper, and Ezra’s curiosity throws Ryn off balance when he starts questioning the Rifts, the mysterious organization that oversees them, and the Citadels themselves—questions that lead Ryn to wonder if the lies she’s been telling her family are just the surface of a much bigger lie told to her. As Ryn and Ezra desperately try to get to that truth, they discover that each revelation blurs the line between the villains and the heroes even more.

A K-9 handler who spends most of his time deployed with his SEAL team, staring danger in the eye, is far from what Lani—or her baby—needs, and Geo can’t imagine a future doing anything else.

Download or read book Corporal Cannon written by Savannah Cannon and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2022-09-16 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “...a dramatic, sobering account of prejudice and the mistreatment of women in combat zones." - Publishers Weekly Not even old enough to drink, Corporal Savannah Cannon is a young enlisted United States Marine deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2010. As a tactical data networking specialist, she is sent away from everyone she knows and attached to a Regimental Combat Team where women are not allowed to repair communications. Her experiences over the next few months shed light on the unique and difficult positions women are placed in when supporting combat roles, while offering a raw look at the painful choices women must sometimes make. Cannon finds herself in a combat zone, ostracized from family, friends, and even her fellow Marines as the men are told to avoid her. The connections she makes are born from trauma and desperation and the choices she makes will echo throughout many lives. Corporal Cannon is not the story of a heroine; it is the hard-hitting account of just one of the flawed individuals who make up the United States’ fighting forces. Mistakes in the battlefield can have dire consequences, personally and professionally. Reflecting on her time in service, the author weaves a story of past and present, and the healing that can come with admitting our mistakes and moving past them.
