Overcome: Crush Adversity with the Leadership Techniques of America's Toughest Warriors

By Jason Redman

Book Overview

Triumph over adversity using proven Special Operations habits and mindsets with this inspiring guide from retired Navy SEAL and New York Times bestselling author Jason Redman.
Adversity can often catch you by surprise and leave you struggling with what to do next. What if you could confront any adversity, from the biggest challenges -- the loss of your job, divorce, health issues, bankruptcy -- to normal daily challenges -- a late flight, a disappointing phone call, a missed promotion, a bad day -- and not just survive it, but thrive afterwards?
Redman was horrifically wounded in Iraq in 2007 when he was shot at close range through the face and arm. After 40 surgeries, including extensive facial reconstruction and skin grafts, he came back from this experience stronger than ever -- despite carrying scars and injuries he will have for the rest of his life. Redman went on to launch two successful companies and speaks all over the country on how to build better leaders through his Overcome mindset.
Overcome is based on extensive research and interviews with America's toughest warriors, including retired 4-star Admiral William McRaven, retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, retired 4-star General Stanley McChrystal, and others.

Customer Reviews

Great book to help you get on track and stay off the X

Written by a navy seal, this book is a must for anyone that is wanting to do the work to get ahead in their lives. This is NOT a navy seal story (although there are a few in the book) but more of a self-help, motivational, how-to book. Gives you the tools to become a more productive person. Highly recommend.

Inspiring, Powerful Leadership Guide

Leadership development is a subject I’ve been interested in for many years. In the past I’ve been able to help people learn how to be better leaders, so I’m always ready to hear what others have to say about leadership. Overcome is a powerful book. It made me uncomfortable in a good way because it made me look at myself. And the conclusion I came to is I am stuck on the “X,” but I don’t have to stay there. I think there’s a lot of practical information in the book, but it does require you to examine yourself and accept responsibility for making the changes you need to make to get unstuck. The stories are interesting and inspiring, and the exercises will expose areas you can improve to be a better leader.
