New York Times bestselling author and retired US Army Staff
Sergeant Travis Mills, who has nearly a decade of experience
coaching others to overcome adversity, shares strategies for
healing and moving forward-which don't just apply to those
returning from war, but resonate with anyone who has experienced
severe trauma. Featuring his trademark humour and relatable
stories, Bounce Back helps anyone confront trauma, understand their
emotions, and take back control of their lives. Thousands have been
wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, five have survived
quadruple amputee injuries, and retired United States Army Staff
Sergeant Travis Mills is one of them. Since an IED in Afghanistan
exploded back in April 2012 and changed the course of his life,
Mills became an advocate for veterans and amputees, helping them
through his foundation, The Travis Mills Foundation. His foundation
helps veterans and their families coping with physical injuries,
and offers a program called Warrior PATHH for combat veterans and
first responders suffering from post-traumatic stress. In Bounce
Back, Mills introduces the twelve principles that helped him
through tough times-and allowed him to continue to be a dedicated
family man, husband and father to two amazing children-including
steps like That Dog Don't Hunt (stop torturing yourself and stop
asking "why"), Take Five (make the time to feel grateful for what
you have), and Swim with the Sharks, Walk with the Horses (make
fear your friend). Anyone can use these principles to change their
life, since everyone experiences life changing events and potential
trauma, whether it's dealing with the repercussions of an act of
violence or abuse, economic struggles, divorce, or a serious
illness. Mills's message-that we cannot control what happens to us
in life, and we can only focus on how we react and move
forward-will inspire survivors from all walks of life. And with
Mills's trademark humour, relatable stories, and science-backed
methods, Bounce Back will help anyone ready to begin their journey
towards healing by confronting trauma, understanding their
emotions, and taking back control of their lives.

Now in paperback, one of the only surviving quadruple amputees in
the Iraq and Afghanistan War, SSG Travis Mills, tells the inspiring
story of his remarkable recovery after losing all four limbs in a
war zone. Thousands of soldiers die each year to defend their
country. United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills was sure
that he would become another statistic when, during his third tour
of duty in Afghanistan, he was caught in an IED blast four days
before his twenty-fifth birthday. Against the odds, he lived, but
at a severe cost. Suddenly forced to reconcile with the fact that
he no longer had arms or legs, Travis was faced with a future
drastically different from the one he had imagined for himself. He
would never again be able to lead his squad, stroke his fingers
against his wife's cheek, or pick up his infant daughter. With
enormous willpower, the unconditional love of his family, and a
generous amount of faith, Travis shocked everyone with his
remarkable recovery. He still swims, dances with his wife, rides
mountain bikes, and drives his daughter to school. Travis inspires
thousands every day with his remarkable journey. He doesn't want to
be thought of as wounded. "I'm just a man with scars," he says,
"living life to the fullest the best way I know how."
