Summary:
"If you wish to make a significant improvement to the quality of your life and increase the chances for personal success, youll do well by picking up a copy of this one-of-a-kind self-improvement book. "The Warrior Truth," penned by military instructor Thomas Bovet, offers practical, honest advice as well as insightful detailed goal-reaching techniques for any competitive individual - be it the career man, the athlete, the business executive or member of the law-enforcement and military." Features:
My book's chapters point to a uniquely eclectic coverage of the subjects which one must address in order to live freer and successfully. My biographical information suggests a wide range of unique experiences and diversity which not many writers can match. I had life-and-death decisions and survival situations to deal with, which cannot be accomplished unless one applies solid methods and techniques. Those abilities were acquired over 4 decades and are shared with the readers. I offer unusual comparisons between Eastern and Western concepts, concentrating on the important and essential.
Competition:
Self-improvement books usually claim to improve "happiness" or health. However, the offered advice is mostly either too impractical to follow or too simplistic and redundant for the average life (at least without close coaching).
.,."by choosing loving thoughts...," or .,."open your heart to the energy of true emotions..." are sample quotes from the thousands of ludicrous and bizarre ideas, from examples like: "You can heal your life" by Louise Hay, or "Way of the peaceful warrior" by Dan Millman. Other books refer to Sun Tzu or the Samurai, trying to drawsimilarities between business transactions and tactical warfare. The authors give "warrior"-like advice to the type of people who would get mugged on the way to the bathroom and really promote anti-social behavior, rather than self reflection.
Audience:
I address any able, active person, from young adult to retirement age.
(Businessmen, executives, competitive employees, athletes, members of the law-enforcement and military or other organizations and agencies.)

Phineas Gage was truly a man with a hole in his head. Phineas, a railroad construction foreman, was blasting rock near Cavendish, Vermont, in 1848 when a thirteen-pound iron rod was shot through his brain. Miraculously, he survived to live another eleven years and become a textbook case in brain science.

At the time, Phineas Gage seemed to completely recover from his accident. He could walk, talk, work, and travel, but he was changed. Gage "was no longer Gage," said his Vermont doctor, meaning that the old Phineas was dependable and well liked, and the new Phineas was crude and unpredictable.

His case astonished doctors in his day and still fascinates doctors today. What happened and what didn't happen inside the brain of Phineas Gage will tell you a lot about how your brain works and how you act human.
