Bounce Back

12 Warrior Principles to Reclaim and Recalibrate Your Life

By: Travis Mills

Narrated by: Roger Wayne

From from New York Times bestselling author and retired US Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills, here are twelve principles to heal after trauma and overcome adversity.

“This book is a master class in recovery, renewal, and recalibration. Travis does not make excuses. Travis does not complain. Travis is not held back by challenges he faces—he is propelled forward by them. Let’s be more like Travis.” —From the Foreword by Jocko Willink

We all have those moments, the ones where we are set adrift by a life-changing event. Yet we often lack the ability to parse these moments, understand how to respond, and move beyond them. Travis Mills, a veteran and a quadruple amputee, was confronted with this in the wake of the incident that claimed his limbs and changed the trajectory of his life forever.

In Bounce Back, Travis reveals the path that helped him through tough times—and allowed him to continue to be a dedicated family man, husband, and father to two amazing children. Along the way to his physical and emotional recovery, Travis developed the tools to keep moving forward, and he has outlined them in twelve principles, including:

• That Dog Don’t Hunt—Stop Torturing Yourself and Stop Asking Why
• Snap Your Fingers, Wiggle Your Toes, and Get the F*** Out of Bed—Create Small, Achievable Goals for Moving Forward
• Stay Within the Guard Rails—Manage Your Emotions and Control Your Attitude
• Get a Battle Buddy—Never Underestimate the Power of a Support System
• Serve—Find Your Voice, Build on Your Strengths, and Live Meaningfully

Travis’s message—that we cannot control what happens to us, and we can only focus on how we react and move forward—will inspire survivors from all walks of life.

S’UP Winners!

I really enjoyed listening to Travis’s approach to adversity/challenges. I have read a lot of more in depth and complicated approaches to self discovery and self awareness and Travis’s book takes a more conversational approach which I appreciated. It was easy to listen to and understand. I’m had the benefit of knowing his story a bit and his personality beforehand which helped as well, even though Travis didn’t read the audible version. It think this book would be good for young men trying to navigate the challenges of life.
The only thing this book needed was a strategically placed signature TM “S’UP WINNERS”
