About this listen
With constant evolution being experienced in the policing profession, the odds of successfully navigating a career from its onset to completion have become increasingly slim. Whether attributed to the complexities of modern directives, the frustrations of contradicting legislation, or the overwhelming pressures felt due to the concerted efforts of reformists, the nobility of the calling has certainly been called to center-stage. Who, in their sane mind, would want this job given the current climate? Fear not, for the noble ones still do exist as the overwhelming majority, however, their existence is being threatened by the advent of enhanced scrutiny, while lacking the adequate tools to avoid the inevitable spoils along the way.
Leadership, in the very essence of the term, has never been more of a necessity, yet we commonly find it to be more of an anomaly. Is this because our supervisory ranks are plagued by demonic patrons, or could it be simply an expected outcome as numbness of the soul has begun to steer the ship.
This crucible is meant to provide a series of lessons as the cliché rings, "If I only knew then, what I've come to know now." For officers; A candid analysis of policing's trials and tribulations, while offering a guide to navigate the treacherous path which has been paved. For officers' loved ones; a means to acceptance, forgiveness, and acknowledgement.
For the oppositionist; a means to an understanding, not necessarily agreement. For all; a means to heal not hurt.

Getting someone to tell the truth is an essential skill that very few people possess. In the boardroom, the classroom, or our own homes, every day we interact with others and try to get the truth from them. People are often untruthful out of fear of negative consequences associated with divulging information. But if a person is made to forget the long-term outcomes, he or she can be influenced to disclose sensitive information that's being withheld.

Story
In his debut book, researcher and advocate Wade Mullen introduces us to the groundbreaking world of impression management - the strategies that individuals and organizations utilize to gain power and cover up their wrongdoings. Mullen reveals a pattern that accompanies many types of abuse, almost as if abusers are somehow reading from the same playbook. If we can learn to decode these evil methods - if we can learn the language of abuse - we can help stop the cycle and make abusers less effective at accomplishing destruction in our lives.

In The Upside of Your Dark Side, two pioneering researchers in the field of psychology show that while mindfulness, kindness, and positivity can take us far, they cannot take us all the way. Sometimes, they can even hold us back. Emotions like anger, anxiety, or doubt might be uncomfortable, but it turns out that they are also incredibly useful.

Men are not the enemy, and masculinity, contrary to what much of popular culture would have you believe, is the solution to what plagues individuals, families, and society as a whole. In The Masculinity Manifesto, author and podcaster Ryan Michler focuses on how a man can wield his power and lead others well with influence, credibility, and authority. Ryan refuses to accept the gradual and intentional decay of masculinity, instead he chooses to tackle the questions others are afraid to address.

Most of us live with the stubborn idea that we'll always have tomorrow to do our most important and valuable work. We fill our days with frantic activity, bouncing from task to task, scrambling to make deadlines and chase the next promotion. But by the end of each day we're often left asking ourselves "did the work I do today really matter?" We feel the ticking of the clock, but we're stuck in first gear, unsure of the path forward and without a road map to guide us.

Story
What does it really mean to be a grown-up in today's world? We assume that once we "get it together" with the right job, marry the right person, have children, and buy a home, all is settled and well. But adulthood presents varying levels of growth and is rarely the respite of stability we expected. Turbulent emotional shifts can take place anywhere between the ages of 35 and 70 when we question the choices we've made, realize our limitations, and feel stuck - commonly known as the "midlife crisis".

100% Worth a listen, LEO or not.
As an new officer this book puts a lot of things in perspective that I’ve never thought about or that I could voice to myself but definitely realized. It’s an amazing book especially if you aren’t fond of law enforcement

Required reading for anyone who plans to be a leader.
I truly believe anyone who aspires to lead others in any role let alone law enforcement should read or hear these words. Tom lays out the facts in such a way that it’s easy for one to digest. I’ve always been one to believe you learn from the mistakes and victories of those who have been there before you. That’s exactly what this book is. Whether it be in your profession or your home life, Tom gives you solid tested and proven ways to enhance your life. I only wish I could give it 6 stars instead of 5.

A must read for the modern day police officer
This book should be used as a handbook for every cop in the business today. From those who are on the first day of the job, to those in executive leadership positions, Tom has something to offer you. His insight to emotional survival and effective leadership are second to none in this business. He uses metaphor to make the concepts in his points relatable, but does not wallow in his own journey to cite examples. His format of story, example and lesson is a familiar one that allows you, the reader, to see yourself in the situation. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in policing and leadership. That includes future cops, current cops, or old guys like me who used to be cops. I would also encourage non-cops to read as well and have a look under the hood to see how our engine powers us. Thank you Tom for this work. You are a true leader.

Every cop should read or listen to this book!
This book is a must for anyone who wants to make a difference in their agency. Tom closely analyzes the progression of the initial vision and drive of a new officer and how it can quickly get lost in the negativity of departmental politics. He goes on to provide alternate ways to push through the negativity and keep our “why” front and center.

Excellent read for everyone
This is an excellent read for both law enforcement and those that wish to understand law enforcement officers; including the hurdles and challenges faced by reality and public perception. If you are not a police officer, you will find this truly eye opening, as Tom speaks the unbiased truth without any sugar coating from a first hand perspective.

Great read no matter your years of service!
I've gone through this book twice and picked and will probably make it a third time. I have taken something meaningful away with each read. I plan on passing it on to my co-workers as well. Totally recommend to any peace officer and to their families as well.
