The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy SEAL
by Eric Greitens
by Eric Greitens
In The Heart and the Fist, Eric Greitens wrote a modern day hero story, at least for me. I totally enjoyed following his journey around the world as a volunteer and then into SEAL training and beyond. Greitens meets the challenges of today’s youth with a strength and maturity and leads the way for others to follow him into a stronger, deeper life. Greitens writes of the suffering clearly, but allows the humanity of the suffering to shine through. Instead of using his thorough education to fill his pockets, he shows others how it is possible to be educated and a warrior. His descriptions of SEAL training are interesting and eye opening, as are his observations as a ‘more mature’ trainee. I loved this book, and as a teacher, I wish I could get every teen-ager to read it.
