Description de l’éditeur
From decorated Green Beret sniper, UFC headliner, and all around badass, Tim Kennedy, a rollicking, inspirational memoir offering lessons in how to embrace failure and weather storms, in order to unlock the strongest version of yourself.
Tim Kennedy has a problem; he only feels alive right before he’s about to die. Kennedy, a Green Beret, decorated Army sniper, and UFC headliner, has tackled a bull with his bare hands, jumped out of airplanes, dove to the depths of the ocean, and traveled the world hunting poachers, human traffickers, and the Taliban.
But he’s also the same man who got kicked out of the police department, fire department, and as an EMT, before getting two women pregnant four days apart, and finally, been beaten up by his Special Forces colleagues for, quite simply, “being a selfish asshole.”
In Scars and Stripes, Kennedy describes how these failures shaped him into the successful businessman and devoted husband and father he is today. Through unbelievably vivid, wild anecdotes Kennedy reveals all the dumb, violent, embarrassing, and undeniably heroic things he’s done in his life, including multiple combat missions in Afghanistan, building a school in Texas for elementary kids, and creating two-multimillion-dollar businesses. You will learn that failure isn’t the end—rather it’s the first step towards unearthing the best version of yourself and finding success, no matter how overwhelming the setbacks may feel.
Avis des utilisateurs
An Absolute Leader
Love his teaching skills. First got introduced to his story via YouTube and Sheepdog Training. Learned what it means to be a real sheepdog, and learned that the stories and lessons that his company shares are applicable to all aspects of my life too. An absolute MUST READ.
The book defines perseverance at another level
Usually I have a hard time not zoning off and thinking about something else when listening to an audio book, then losing track of where I was. This book is definitely gotten the opposite reaction. I cannot stop listening to this. The way it is narrated by Tim Kennedy it’s almost like I am watching it in my head. He did an amazing job. Great listen, I would definitely recommend it.
