Rising Above

A Green Beret's Story of Childhood Trauma and Ultimate Healing

De: Sean J. Rogers

Narrado por: Sean Rogers

A simple car accident changed the path of six-year-old Sean Rogers’ life forever. His single mother checked into the hospital as a vibrant young woman and checked out as a full-blown opioid addict. From that day forward, Sean’s life became a silent nightmare of abuse, neglect, chronic hunger, and slow, helpless withdrawal from everything and everyone he loved.

In Rising Above, Green Beret Sean Rogers chronicles the toughest battle of his life: the long, painful fight to confront his darkest fears and reclaim his life. After struggling as a young man to accept the raw trauma of his past, he eventually learned to understand and embrace it, ultimately using it to become an elite Special Forces operator.

Through this profoundly honest and inspiring memoir, Rogers explores what it means to make the pain of your past work for you, showing you how to harness the truth of your own reality and take control of your destiny.

steady inspiration

I love the book and your content ill watch for book 2 thank you im not aspiring to get selected im 36 now sure that's long gone but you help me every time you drop content thank you

A true story of perseverance

I'm not even sure how to start this review other than saying that Sean Roger's is a true role model and his story should be looked at and used to guide others. This book will leave your jaw on the floor. This will pull tears from your eyes like a waterfall. It will give you a sense of drive and courage to become better and to tackle your own challenges. His introspection is a humbling display of someone, who to many military veterans, is one of the best. Truly wonderful book and well narrated by the author himself.

Fantastic!

This was an amazing story, but it felt more like a summary of a larger story. It left me wanting more depth and detail. Thank you for sharing Buck.

So much more makes sense.

Listening to this book made me realize why so many things in my own life happened the way it has as well as how much it’s affected me as an adult. I didn’t want it to end!
Much love and respect to you and your journey.

Thank you

I can’t wait to meet you one day and read your other book. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Amazing to listen to the Author words

Highly recommend this book! amazing read and can't wait to see what else comes from Sean in the future

Great story and very compelling!

Especially for those that may have lived a similar life. Great way to see inside his mind and what pushed him.

Fulfilled. Enhanced.

This book has made me a better man, due to me absorbing wisdom and lessons from a better man that that has been around longer than me, and knows how to persevere through hardships and experiences. Beautiful and meaningful this book is. Can not recommend enough if you’re a lost soul trying to find your purpose in life.

Review (from a 21 year old)

I found this book great. I resonated with many of the bad habits that the author picked up due to childhood abuse/neglect. I see some of the same things within myself and this book was eye opening and has given me a new perspective about how running away from your past and not acknowledging it does no good.

Face your demons head on, or they will eventually catch up to you.

Stay positive.

Good message.

Quick listen with a good message and I appreciated the added comments. The writing was good but was not quite what I would expect from a professional writer. That said, I have a lot of respect for people who can write their own books and getting to hear it read by the author is always a huge pluss.
