And while there are many books written by and for veterans, only a small selection of those address the transition to civilian life, and none are a truly complete reference for stepping out of service and back into normal life. \u003ci\u003eWarrior to Civilian\u003c\/i\u003e covers a range of topics, from the practical--finding a job, reintegrating into family life--to the more challenging topics, like dealing with loss, and finding new purpose in life. This well-curated resource incorporates stories, insights, and observations from veterans and their partners; evidence-based advice from health professionals and experts who work closely with veterans; and inspiration taken from heavyweights like Jon Kabbat-Zinn and Tony Robbins. The authors take care to address the unique challenges faced by veterans of color, and those in the LGBTQ+ communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e With support from some of our country's most recognizable military members, authors Rob Sarver, a former SEAL, and Alex Gendzier, combine their voices and their experiences in and out of the military in a unique way that will make this resource shine. Scaffolded by the hero's journey, in which the hero experiences a series of transformative events, they reveal that within the loss that many veterans have suffered while serving and suffer in the transition, there is great opportunity for healing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Sarver,Alex Gendzier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538769972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538769973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Robert Sarver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065694105855,"sku":"9781538769973","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c03e942f-6c1b-4246-895c-b1bc84ad3891.jpg?v=1768676634","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/warrior-to-civilian-robert-sarver-9781538769973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
