Reawakening the Warrior Spirit: Exploring What it Means to be a Warrior in the Modern West Kindle Edition

Everywhere you look, people are asking the same question: “what the hell is happening in the West?” Outrage has replaced reasoned discourse, victimhood is now a virtue, depression and suicide are both on the rise, and rampant cynicism is increasingly the norm, not the exception. Is this the end of western civilization as we know it?

Veteran Marine Corps Captain Jayson Downing addresses these challenging questions in his book Redefining the Warrior Spirit: Combatting Bad Ideas Destroying the West. Drawing on his own experiences in military training and the crucible of combat deployments, he breaks down exactly what is going on in the modern West, and even more importantly, what we can do about it.

Informative, direct, and surprisingly hopeful, this personal development book is a fresh perspective on the ongoing culture war in the United States and beyond. Journeying widely across the great warrior traditions of the world, he combines age-old wisdom with modern science to explain some of life’s most challenging questions. The reader will learn why to pursue a life of courageous service, how to make your “yes” a yes and your “no” a no, what it means to embrace a life of strength and power, and why you must always confront adversaries with your face forward. Redefining the Warrior Spirit shatters our conceptions of right vs. left politicking and answers a far more profound and ennobling question: what does it truly mean to be a warrior, both in and out of the uniform?

Can't stop reading! A Warrior's journey that brings the reader along...
Wrought out of a life of service and great personal devotion to his Country, America and to his family, through his service in the Marine Corp. and two Masters Degrees that followed, Captain Jayson Downing takes the reader through historical accounts of what it means to be a Warrior, the truest definition and the reality behind it. We, as a people, see the glory, the accolades and the commendation of our historical and modern day Warriors, but rarely do we see behind the curtains of what it takes, the strength & courage of a true Warrior and the struggles it leaves in it's wake. I challenge all readers to give this book a serious read & then reread, highlight & underline the parts that speak loudest to you, for I believe it helps answer many of the questions in everyone's minds as we see unprecedented changes in our world today- a world and Country that seems to be spinning out of control... and yet, we keep holding fast to what we know deep inside our hearts, the hope of a better tomorrow and dreams of a brighter future- all we need now are modern day Warriors willing to stand and be heard...

One can’t help but look around these days and see some scary trends around increased outrage instead of civilized discourse, the rise of victimhood over taking ownership of one’s situation, increased negativity, and not to mention seeing more violence, depression, and suicide across our society. What’s going on?

Veteran Marine Corps Captain Jayson Downing addresses these challenges and trends in his book Reawakening the Warrior Spirit: Exploring What it Means to be a Warrior in the Modern West. Drawing on his own experiences in military training and the crucible of combat deployments, he breaks down exactly what is going on in the modern West, and even more importantly, what we can do about it.

Jayson’s book is exactly what people need right now to break down the fears around these paradigm shifts and, more importantly, step up as a Warrior to create positive change and have the tough conversations to get things back on track.

This was rich discussion of what it means to be a warrior. I started the book with my own ideas of what I believed a warrior to be (basically a soldier). Now having finished the book, I realize that was a shallow and compartmentalized definition. Between the history of the most notable warrior cultures/groups and what pop cultures thinks about power, knowledge and self sacrifice, Jayson shares how everyone can benefit from developing the qualities of a warrior. They are not reserved for only the armed forces.
If you are looking for a book that challenges you and encourages you to dig deep and grow, this is a good one. There were many points where I had to set the book down and think about the ideas he presented. This is a good book to read, ponder, and read again.
