Publisher's summary

With four years in the Parachute Regiment, 10 years in the SAS and two Everest summits to his name, no one is better equipped than Jay Morton to reveal what it takes to become the best of the best. Soldier is Jay Morton’s masterclass in mindset, strategy and excellence.

Drawing on his extraordinary personal experience, it provides in-depth, comprehensive lessons and practical takeaways. Whether serving as an elite soldier, training as a high-level shooter or becoming an expert in HALO (high-altitude, low-opening) and HAHO (high-altitude, high-opening) parachuting, Jay has always strived to be at the very top of the game. More than most, Jay knows that military service develops skillsets you’d never dreamed of having and which can be applied to our day-to-day lives. We are prone to underestimating ourselves, but physical and mental endurance and resilience - as well as realising our own full potential - are well within our reach.

Life guidance

Jay’s book is an all encompassing guide for life that can provide bits of useful information for everyone. He is humble and yet has accomplished more than most will ever dream of. The best of those that have been willing to give so much of themselves for the rest of us.

Pretty standard

Standard motivational book. Listening to Jay speak is worth it though. He speaks well and offers genuine level headed life advice. He’s a great narrator.

Simple and straight forward

Listening to this book felt absolutely refreshing. Simple advice from own life experiences with examples that don't go too far but still are personal for Jay. It is his book after all.


I feel like his character was definitely maintained very well, and I loved it.
Lots of inspiration, a book can be both a look-up guide for when dealing with something yourself or just an inspiring story of someone else's life that can make you go "i can do this too".

There's nothing new in the book as such, but it's a different way of putting things together - and sometimes that's just what is needed to get the message through.

On a couple small occasions the tone became a bit monotone, but i also listen about 15-20mins at a time so it wasn't bothering me too much.

Clearly a one of a kind and very down to earth person that I'd love to meet one day.
