Bounce Back

12 Warrior Principles to Reclaim and Recalibrate Your Life

De: Travis Mills

Narrado por: Roger Wayne

A New York Times bestselling author and retired US Army Staff Sergeant shares strategies for healing and moving forward through the use of techniques that helps you confronts trauma, understand your emotions, and take back control of your life.

Thousands have been wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, five have survived quadruple amputee injuries, and retired United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills is one of them. Since an IED in Afghanistan exploded back in April 2012 and changed the course of his life, Mills became an advocate for veterans and amputees, helping them through his foundation, The Travis Mills Foundation. His foundation helps veterans and their families coping with physical injuries, and offers a program called Warrior PATHH for combat veterans and first responders suffering from post-traumatic stress.

In Bounce Back, Mills introduces the twelve principles that helped him through tough times—and allowed him to continue to be a dedicated family man, husband and father to two amazing children—including steps like That Dog Don't Hunt (stop torturing yourself and stop asking "why"), Take Five (make the time to feel grateful for what you have), and Swim with the Sharks, Walk with the Horses (make fear your friend). Anyone can use these principles to change their life, since everyone experiences life changing events and potential trauma, whether it’s dealing with the repercussions of an act of violence or abuse, economic struggles, divorce, or a serious illness. Mills's message—that we cannot control what happens to us in life, and we can only focus on how we react and move forward—will inspire survivors from all walks of life. And with Mills's trademark humor, relatable stories, and science-backed methods, Bounce Back will help anyone ready to begin their journey towards healing by confronting trauma, understanding their emotions, and taking back control of their lives.

Hope inspiring

Provided a hopeful path when going through extreme difficulty . Thank you Travis, much appreciated for you story

S’UP Winners!

I really enjoyed listening to Travis’s approach to adversity/challenges. I have read a lot of more in depth and complicated approaches to self discovery and self awareness and Travis’s book takes a more conversational approach which I appreciated. It was easy to listen to and understand. I’m had the benefit of knowing his story a bit and his personality beforehand which helped as well, even though Travis didn’t read the audible version. It think this book would be good for young men trying to navigate the challenges of life.
The only thing this book needed was a strategically placed signature TM “S’UP WINNERS”
Great book! Thanks Travis

Outstanding!

SSGT Travis Mills is a hero! Not just because he served in the army and protected our nation, but because of the way he has devoted his life to helping others after his injuries. This book should be required reading for everyone, because we all have trauma in our lives. There are many invisible, scars coming from trauma that make it difficult sometimes to see the challenges people have to bounce back from.

Good, listen.

Always inspiring and surviving.
Do the daily.
Somewhere, someone had a worse day,
take care of yourself.

Everyone needs this

If you have been through ANY adversity at all, this book can help. Through Travis’ story and so many others, you learn so many strategies to COPE and get back to living.

The motivation is amazing

The fact that this man can live his life the way he does is nothing short of amazing. He has taken the challenges and turned them into opportunities. He is a person that I would love to be able to sit down and talk. It feels like it would be a conversation of just two buddies even if you just met the guy.
