In today’s unpredictable and often dangerous world, the ability to protect oneself and others is invaluable. Developing a combat mindset is essential for those who wish to face potential threats with confidence and decisiveness. This book aims to provide you with the comprehensive knowledge, techniques, and exercises needed to cultivate a mindset prepared for combat. Whether you are a member of the military, law enforcement, a martial artist, or a civilian concerned with personal safety, this book will guide you through the process of developing a superior combat mindset. The Dual Approach to Mental Fortitude This book explores two complementary paths to building a robust combat mindset: Scientific Modern Methods: Drawing on different researches in psychology, neuroscience, and tactical training, we delve into practical, evidence-based techniques to enhance mental resilience, situational awareness, and decision-making under stress. These methods include cognitive behavioral strategies, stress inoculation training, and visualization techniques, all designed to condition the mind for the rigors of combat. Spiritual Practices in Christianity: Alongside scientific approaches, we delve deeply into the rich spiritual traditions of Christianity. This includes prayer, meditation, and rituals aimed at strengthening the warrior spirit. By grounding oneself in faith and invoking divine protection, particularly through the intercession of figures like Archangel Michael, a warrior can draw on a profound source of inner strength and purpose. While these paths may seem distinct, they converge in their ultimate goal: to prepare the individual to face combat with unwavering courage and clarity. Scientific methods provide the tools to understand and manage the psychological demands of combat, while spiritual practices offer a transcendent foundation, imbuing the warrior with a sense of mission and moral clarity. In this book, the spiritual dimension is rooted in Christian traditions. Christianity offers a wealth of practices aimed at fortifying the soul and spirit. From the disciplined routines of prayer and fasting to the powerful invocations of protection and strength, these practices have been honed over centuries by warrior monks and soldiers of faith. By integrating these spiritual disciplines, a warrior can achieve a state of mental and spiritual preparedness that transcends the physical realm. This book is structured to provide a balanced integration of both approaches. Each section offers practical exercises, meditations, and rituals alongside scientific explanations and training techniques. Whether you are a soldier, a law enforcement officer, or anyone seeking to develop a combat-ready mindset, this guide will equip you with the tools necessary to face any challenge with strength and resilience. As you embark on this journey, remember that the forging of a combat mindset is not merely about preparing for battle—it is about cultivating a way of life that embraces discipline, faith, and unwavering resolve. By harnessing the power of both science and spirituality, you will be prepared to face any adversary, confident in the strength of your mind and the depth of your spirit. May this book serve as a beacon of guidance and inspiration, helping you to forge a mindset that is as formidable in peace as it is in war.

A bestselling author and entrepreneur outlines the mindset and methods we need to achieve the American Dream no matter what our current circumstances are. Facing a challenging economy, too many Americans despair of improving their lives. But John Hope Bryant insists that America is still the Land of Opportunity. Up from Nothing revives the forgotten story of the American Dream. It’s about our beginnings as a nation of go-getters who believed they were winners before they won. Using the inspiring story of his own rise from humble beginnings, and that of his parents and grandparents, Bryant shows how individually we can change our mindset from survivor to thriver to winner and move beyond just getting by or being financially independent to becoming wildly successful. Collectively, we need to become a nation of winners once again. By ensuring that every stakeholder in America has access to the Five Pillars of Success—massive education, financial literacy, strong family structure, self-esteem, and supportive role models—Bryant shows how we can fulfill the promise of America's greatness. But to do so, we must turn away from distractions—such as political in-fighting or racial and class divisions—and focus on what we can control. This is not a book of tips on how to get a better job or make more money. It’s about adopting a new way of thinking that will do all that for us and more. Up from Nothing is the new (old) business plan to keep us winning as a country. “John Bryant reminds us that the American Dream wasn’t meant for some of us, but for all of us. Nobody has worked harder to lift the horizons for those without hope.” —Quincy Jones “John takes us back to an idea of America where all can win. Instead of getting mired down by envy, greed, hate, and despair, John challenges us to rise up with positive thinking, self-confidence, aspiration, and hope—and to do it together.” —Brad Hanson, president and CEO, Meta Financial Group and Metabank
