Totally American, by Dan Smee & Shoba Sreenivasan:

Both authors give personal testimonies, recounting their separate lives, experiences of growing up, maturing into adults, lessons they’ve learned through life, their work, loss, achievements, and those they’ve come to know along with way. They offer an easy to read self-help guide to the rewards of developing and exercising morals, core values, a positive “can do” attitude, in order to obtain our life goals. Some of the themes covered are: achieving fulfilment and success, changing a negative attitude into a positive one, defeating fear, stress and other disparaging thoughts and emotions, tackling the “hard knocks” of life as and when they come, self-reflection on life from civilian, military, and philosophical perspectives.
In these difficult times, with so much despondency around us, it’s refreshing to read such an optimistic, constructive and inspirational guide.
