Bounce Back: 12 Warrior Principles to Reclaim and Recalibrate Your Life
by Travis MillsTwelve principles to heal after trauma and overcome adversity—from New York Times bestselling author and retired US Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills &“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.

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.
