Billed as advice from "Military, Neuroscientists, and Ancient Greeks", it had me on the line with these three motifs. A splash of Joseph Campbell thrown in, but not really... I felt I could have handled more than these three themes as the book went on about halfway... I love the military stories but to someone who will never join it sounds like an un-needed recruitment speech. I was in JROTC, so it's okay, I understand...
Pretty good book though, I never had a bad day at work when I read it before going. The neuroscience is weak and the "secrets" are not really secrets. I wanted more than Plato and Aristotle paraphrased, but more quotes from them and photos and quotes from Greek history. Perhaps too psychedelic for a military book... It's not the worst leadership book I've read though, it's pretty solid and I would listen to advice from some of America's toughest leaders and men / women of action, for sure.
