A true guide to Living Free and Dying Well

Revisado: 07-14-23

I’ve followed John for a long time. YouTube to his Warrior Poet Society Network WPSN. He is a true Warrior and Poet. This book is an excellent guide for Men to strive to become the same. Every Husband/Father/Son should listen to this book.

I ordered the hardcover and after reading it I listened to the audio to dig deeper. I was very happy to find that John reads his own book. He does an excellent job. I always feel when the author is a good reader that builds connection to his audience.

You will learn many skills in this book that if applied will make life a little or a lot better.

I retired from the Army after 23 years so I look at it through my experiences but everyone not just Military can highly benefit from this book. He explains the need to find the balance of being both a Warrior and a Poet in life. He explains he wants to build a brotherhood of Warrior Poets.

He trains people in the use of firearms, tactics, and medical skills, He has a personalized Shadow Systems pistol collection called the “War Poet” you can buy online. He has a supply store for all things tactical. He started his own network WPSN that teaches everything from Land Navigation, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Philosophy. He conducts sermons at churches explaining Jesus is both a Lion and a Lame. I say all that to say he balances Warrior and Poet extremely well and that is what all us Men should strive to do.

In the book I especially enjoyed the “Live like you were dying” tie in. I agree with John: “There is something transcendent about facing your own demise before it’s too late. It’s the only way to truly live, fully alive.” He also explains the Military “death letters” that can be eye opening on determining what truly matters in your life. I agree that everyone should write one. It is an impressive tool for building personal perspective in life.

I like his ability to tell everyone how strong his faith in Jesus is and how it improves everything in his life but does it in a way not to “push” his personal beliefs upon anyone. He is just not afraid to let everyone know loud and clear he loves Jesus.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. Good books are hard to find today and Great books are few and far between anymore. This is in the Great Book category.

Outstanding book and outstanding narrator

Jack Carr books are by far the best and his pick for Narrator on all his books was amazing. As a Veteran that has seen evil first hand in America and around the globe his series is an excellent “therapy” in that justice is served in every book in a way only Fiction could appropriately portray.

Can’t stop listening, love this book and the podcast. Great storyteller, who encapsulates why I love true crime, and he’s doing what many of us want to do. Catch the bad guy.
