About this listen

Tom Murphy is a retired Navy Captain, a combat veteran, an Olmsted Scholar, and served as a U.S. Navy SEAL for 25 years, rising through the ranks to become the Commanding Officer of two different SEAL commands, including the much-publicized SEAL Team Six. This is his story. The Navy SEAL Trident is one of the proudest military insignia a man can wear. Embark on an extraordinary journey through the life of this U.S. Navy SEAL as he transcends the depths of trauma to explore the essence of spirituality in "Beyond the Trident." Follow the captivating narrative of the author’s evolution from the rigors of military training and combat operations to the profound realms of the human spirit, where the pursuit of purpose and the quest for spiritual understanding converge in a narrative of courage, resilience, and self-discovery.

Drawing upon the metaphor of a three-legged stool representing mind, body, and spirit, this autobiographical memoir delves into the enduring impacts of trauma on each facet of our existence. Through the lenses of religion, science, and metaphysics, the author reflects on his odyssey from skepticism to a profound spiritual understanding, enriched by a wealth of reading culminating in a curated list of insightful books.

Experience the multifaceted world of a Navy SEAL, from the intensity of SEAL training and operations to the vibrant, life-filled camaraderie of individual SEALs as they transition from young men to being the world’s most highly trained commandos. From the adrenaline-fueled world of SEAL operations to the introspective depths of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this book provides a rare glimpse into the dual nature of the military combat experience. Gain insights into the universal quest for meaning, the interplay between spirituality and science, and the transformative power of self-discovery.

As a fellow navy veteran on a spiritual journey, it was such a pleasure to read this book. It is so easy and common to put others, and even ourselves into boxes. When we do this, we deny so much inherent to the human experience. Tom’s book tears this open as he speaks openly about his experience as a Navy SEAL, a veteran, and a man, trying to make sense of life, while turning with an open-mind to the wisdom of history’s greatest philosophers.

Hard to follow in the later half of the book, rambles on and becomes repetitive
