Recommendation
Jason Kander’s remarkable military and political career could have led him to write a more traditional, potentially less authentic, bestseller. Instead, his second memoir – following his bestselling autobiography Outside the Wire – is a vulnerable page-turner about the ravages of post-traumatic stress disorder, which he developed during his military service in Afghanistan. Despite his rapid political ascent, PTSD haunted Kander for more than a decade. Finally, on the verge of suicide, he walked away from a successful political career to seek treatment. His hard-won insights chart a path for leaders to reach their potential by prioritizing honest self-appraisal, self-development and stress management.
