THE WARRIOR POET WAY: A GUIDE TO LIVING FREE AND DYING WELL

THE WARRIOR POET WAY: A GUIDE TO LIVING FREE AND DYING WELL by John Lovell

When John Lovell came back from serving five tours as an Army Ranger, he noticed something. The men that he served with were losing their families when they came home. They would cross the ocean, fight for their loved ones, come home, and not be able to successfully integrate back into the society and the families they were fighting for. There were two big problems - (1) the warrior didn't know how to develop the "poet" side that connected with his family in a tender way while still being their strong protector and (2) he now returned to a world that constantly battles against "warrior" type men. What did Lovell do? Well, it took a little time, because he had some figuring out to do himself, but he caught onto something. A balance of both the warrior and the poet was needed. He formed The Warrior Poet Society, a society that was born of being that much needed protecting warrior and the man who can relate to his wife and children. This book shares that journey and what it means to be a Warrior Poet in today's world.
