The Warrior's Heart: Becoming a Man of Compassion and Courage by Eric Greitens
3.0
A good story about Eric Greitens' life, written by himself, and the struggles he faced, the decisions he had to make, and how he was a better person because of it. The book was written to encourage young people to be compassionate and courageous, to make decisions for yourself that would help other people. Eric Greitens asks you to be a servant to others, in whatever way you can, wherever your life may lead.
Throughout the book there are chapters directed at the reader, placing them in certain situations in which a decision has to be made. They are hard decisions. "What do you do?"
I enjoyed the last half of the book the most, when he was in BUD/S training, especially when the guys got delusional and said hilarious things that didn't make sense. That made me laugh. I also liked a lot of the lessons he had learned that he shared with the reader.
Overall, it was an interesting read that can challenge you to really think about things and shows that you can make a difference in other people's lives either by the little things you do to serve, or the big things you do, if you have the courage and the compassion to do so.
