You Are Worth It is a memoir about the War in Afghanistan and Kyle’s heroics, yes, but it also is a manual for living. Organized around the credos that have guided Kyle’s life (from “Don’t Hide Your Scars” to “Call Your Mom”), the book encourages us to become our best selves in the time we've been given on earth.

In the military, a field manual provides instructions in simple, clear, step-by-step language to help soldiers complete their mission. In the civilian sector, books offer information on everything from fixing a leaky faucet to developing an effective workout program to cooking a good steak. Leadership Strategy and Tactics explains how to take leadership theory, quickly translate that theory into applicable strategy, and then put leadership into action at a tactical level. This audiobook is the solution that leaders at every level need.

Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age 11. In the years that followed, he would regularly smoke pot, do cocaine and ecstasy, and develop addictions to crystal meth and heroin. Even so, he felt like he would always be able to quit and put his life together whenever he needed to. It took a violent relapse one summer in California to convince him otherwise.

I loved the book, however the narrator is somewhat mono toned. The story line gets very repetitive at times, but I know that must be the life of a drug attic.

I’m a huge fan of Adam Wade after this book. Very honest and raw first hand experiences that anyone would cringe to even revealing to a complete stranger much less the entire world. Wow I really enjoyed the book. Is it to much to ask for another!?

Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July 2005 for the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader rumored to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive. This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history.

As a man in Law Enforcement I do not hold actors or celebrities in high regards. Men and women like Marcus Luttrell that have fought for my freedom are the real heroes and will always get my undying respect. Your eye witness account of Operation Red Wings not only educated me, but brought a new light to the heroism of all of the men that lost their lives on that day. Thank you for not only your sacrifice, but your wisdom. Stay safe - Colby from Tennessee.
