Warrior to Civilian: The Field Manual for the Hero's Journey, (Paperback)

<b>Winner of the 2026 Axiom Book Awards Gold Medal in Career (Job Search/Career Advancement) </b><p><b> A compassionate, practical guidebook for veterans transitioning from active duty to civilian life and for the loved ones supporting their journey.</b> </p><p> "Challenging yet reassuring....a key addition to every veteran's packing list ." --Stan McChrystal, General, US Army (Ret) and Co-Founder and CEO, McChrystal Group </p><p> Some important statistics: </p><p></p><ul><li> There are over 22 million veterans alive today </li><li> Each year, more than 200,000 new veterans transition out of active duty. </li><li> Approximately 22 veterans commit suicide a day, and even more are living with PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), struggling with substance abuse, homelessness, and experience many, many other difficulties. </li></ul> It's clear that we have not honored the promise we make to veterans: that we as a country will help them after they've served and sacrificed. And while there are many books written by and for veterans, only a small selection of those address the transition to civilian life, and none are a truly complete reference for stepping out of service and back into normal life. <i>Warrior to Civilian</i> covers a range of topics, from the practical--finding a job, reintegrating into family life--to the more challenging topics, like dealing with loss, and finding new purpose in life. This well-curated resource incorporates stories, insights, and observations from veterans and their partners; evidence-based advice from health professionals and experts who work closely with veterans; and inspiration taken from heavyweights like Jon Kabbat-Zinn and Tony Robbins. The authors take care to address the unique challenges faced by veterans of color, and those in the LGBTQ+ communities. <p> With support from some of our country's most recognizable military members, authors Rob Sarver, a former SEAL, and Alex Gendzier, combine their voices and their experiences in and out of the military in a unique way that will make this resource shine. Scaffolded by the hero's journey, in which the hero experiences a series of transformative events, they reveal that within the loss that many veterans have suffered while serving and suffer in the transition, there is great opportunity for healing.</p>
