Battle Ready: Eliminate Doubt, Embrace Courage, Transform Your Life

Description

How do you keep going when you're in your lowest moment? How do you prioritise recovery and take control? How do you transform your life? Ex-Special Forces soldier Ollie Ollerton knows more than his fair share about keeping going. As a recruit he survived the infamously tough SAS selection process on a busted ankle with the Directing Staff pleading with him to give up. But it's in Ollie's personal life that he really had to dig deep. At his lowest he was battling a failed relationship, substance abuse, depression and a reckless disregard for his own life. In his new book Ollie tells the story of how he turned his life around and passes on the lessons he has learned. In Battle Ready Ollie shares the step-by-step plan that changed his life, by creating change. From finding purpose and visualising an outcome, to breaking bad habits and establishing positive new routines. His advice will help readers to overcome their own obstacles to reach a higher state of focus and potential.
