In 2012, Eric Greitens unexpectedly heard from a former SEAL comrade, a brother-in-arms he hadn't seen in a decade. Zach Walker had been one of the toughest of the tough. But ever since he returned home from war to his young family in a small logging town, he'd been struggling. Without a sense of purpose, plagued by PTSD, and masking his pain with heavy drinking, he needed help. Zach and Eric started writing and talking nearly every day, as Eric set down his thoughts on what it takes to build resilience in our lives.

Eric's letters-drawing on both his own experience and wisdom from ancient and modern thinkers-are now gathered and edited into this timeless guidebook. "Resilience" explains how we can build purpose, confront pain, practice compassion, develop a vocation, find a mentor, create happiness, and much more.
