Endorsements

"If you're in despair about America's future, meet my hero - Eric Greitens.

His life and this book reminds us that America remains the land of the brave and generous.  The heart and fist are just the combination we need."


— Tom Brokaw, Former NBC News Anchor, Journalist and Author

"If you worry that America is no longer a home of heroes, come read this book by Eric Greitens. It is a riveting tale of a young man’s adventures as he becomes a boxer, a thinker, a warrior, and ultimately a humanitarian. He writes admiringly of the Greek notion of phronesis, practical wisdom – 'the ability to figure out what to do while at the same time knowing what is worth doing.' Mr. Greitens has plenty of phronesis."

— David Gergen, Professor, Director of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard Kennedy School and CNN Senior Political Analyst

"Navy Seal. Rhodes Scholar. Eric Greitens is truly a modern-day renaissance man. This is a remarkable story of a brilliant young man who deeply cares about human suffering…and does something about it. Whether as a civilian or in uniform, Eric’s strength, fortitude, and integrity enabled him to effect positive change in Iraq and Afghanistan. And now he’s using his extraordinary talent to help our wounded veterans serve others again. In these challenging times, his vision is an inspiration to all."

— General Richard Myers, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

"The Heart and the Fist might have been written in many countries, but its ideals seem to me to be quintessentially American. What resounds so powerfully in this book is Greitens' drive, from the earliest age, not to cash in on his own abundant gifts but to find some path that was worthy of his highest self, some way to be of use, to make a contribution and to really live a life. This is very American. Greitens combines in one person the warrior ethos of toughness, courage and tenacity with the compassion of the humanitarian. If you're restless or itching for some calling you can't name, read this book.  Give it to your son and daughter.  The Heart and the Fist epitomizes all that is best in this country, and what we need desperately right now."

— Steven Pressfield, Author of Gates of Fire
