NATIONAL BESTSELLERThe 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 BedAmerican Sniper meets Make Your Bed in these life lessons from decorated United States service members and New York Times bestselling authors Robert ONeill 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 ONeill and Dakota Meyer are two of the most decorated and recognized US service members: ONeill killed the worlds 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, ONeill 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 ONeills and Meyers perspectives, looking back with humor at even the darkest war stories, and sharing lessons they learned along the way.The Way Forward presents ONeill and Meyers philosophy in combat and life. This isnt 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 Robs dogged repetition at the free throw line of his childhood basketball court to Dakotas 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, ONeill 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 lifes battles in perspective with a sense of humor.
