And while there are many books written by and for veterans, only a small selection of those address the transition to civilian life, and none are a truly complete reference for stepping out of service and back into normal life. \u003ci\u003eWarrior to Civilian\u003c\/i\u003e covers a range of topics, from the practical--finding a job, reintegrating into family life--to the more challenging topics, like dealing with loss, and finding new purpose in life. This well-curated resource incorporates stories, insights, and observations from veterans and their partners; evidence-based advice from health professionals and experts who work closely with veterans; and inspiration taken from heavyweights like Jon Kabbat-Zinn and Tony Robbins. The authors take care to address the unique challenges faced by veterans of color, and those in the LGBTQ+ communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e With support from some of our country's most recognizable military members, authors Rob Sarver, a former SEAL, and Alex Gendzier, combine their voices and their experiences in and out of the military in a unique way that will make this resource shine. Scaffolded by the hero's journey, in which the hero experiences a series of transformative events, they reveal that within the loss that many veterans have suffered while serving and suffer in the transition, there is great opportunity for healing. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alex Gendzier, Robert Sarver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46485399470316,"sku":"9781538769973","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781538769973.jpg?v=1768930025","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/warrior-to-civilian-the-field-manual-for-the-heros-journey-1","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
