Resumen del Editor

Deliberate Discomfort follows the journey of Jason Van Camp as a new Green Beret commander taking over a team of combat-hardened Special Forces veterans. This true story tells firsthand the intense, traumatic battles these warriors fought and won, sharing lessons learned from their incredible backgrounds.

A cadre of scientists further break down each experience, translating them into digestible and relatable action items, allowing the listener to apply these lessons forged under fire to their own lives. Deliberate Discomfort is the ultimate book on leadership and self-improvement, depicting how these warriors found a way to win under incredible odds with never-quit attitudes.

The authors don't just tell you how to thrive under pressure; they show you how, in heart-racing, first-person narratives. The lessons transcend business, sports, and all other organizational and personal dynamics. Listen to Medal of Honor recipient Leroy Petry's true account of grabbing an enemy grenade in Afghanistan, saving the lives of his fellow soldiers, but losing his hand in the process. Hear what fellow Medal of Honor recipient Florent Groberg was thinking as he tackled a suicide bomber. Feel what Marine Joey Jones felt as he was flying through the air, weightless, after stepping on the IED that would take both his legs. And most importantly, experience what Jason learned about leadership and embracing discomfort from adversity.

Outstanding

I have listened to many leadership books over the years but this book is definitely one of the best I have listened to. I will have yo listen again but this time in a setting where I can take notes to help me apply things into my companies leadership model.
Thank you
Troy

great book.

So many powerful lessons. I can use this book to get to the next level with my team.

So valuable for leadership & growth of businesses and individuals

As someone who scales and turns around failing businesses for a living, I found so much depth, detail and gold in this book that applies to both businesses and the individual. Leaders who adopt and apply these principles will see quick, positive changes to their teams, and their lives.

Mission-critical must-read

Mission-critical must-read for anyone that wants to improve their lives and/or organization.

Perfect book for those attuned to self help and outward inspiration!

This book was a great listen. This book offered a ton of real world perspectives from those of many walks of life focused through the lens of military service.
This is not a “How to” book nor a “feel better about your life for dummies” book. This book is geared for those who take personal action over their lives.
Are you the type of person who is motivated? A self starter? Gets energized from reading insightful experiences from others and can apply or infer those life lessons to yourself? Who doesn’t offer excuses as to why you haven’t accomplished a goal but continuously pivots around all obstacles pushing further down the field? Or, are you looking for inspirational books to help you dial into that mindset? This book is for you!

The best book I have ever purchased

Just finished this book, I’m about to start it over again and buy two more for my company leadership. Well written, well spoken, well put together, and overall a great book. I learned a lot, it reinforced a lot, and it inspired me. I couldn’t get enough, all I wanted to do was listen.

Outstanding!

The things I learned in this book are amazing lessons I hope to apply for my future!

Good leadership perspective

Good book that translates military leadership to winning in civilian leadership roles. My only critique would be that we can't all be Green Berets and Medal of Honor recipients. Amazing leadership happens everyday at every echelon of the conventional forces too. But I think the principles can easily be applied to anyone who listens with the intent to learn.

Pretty Dang good

I read this part as the deliberate discomfort challenge. Absolutely wild stories that teach us important values.

Amazing! Riveting!

Listening to this book from an emotionally intelligent leadership perspective was fascinating! I’m an EQ Executive Coach & learned so many salient insights & practical applications. Definitely rereading this book. Thank you Jason. -Noble (EQGangster.com, USMA ‘96)
