Synopsis

Discover the USA Today bestselling self-help memoir from a former Army Ranger, a hero of the 2012 Benghazi siege, and the subject of the book and movie 13 Hours, as he shares life-changing lessons of discipline, motivation, success, and peace.

Thousands of people have heard Kris "Tanto" Paronto speak about his experiences in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. But before he was a security contractor, Tanto was a US Army Ranger from 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment. In The Ranger Way, Tanto shares stories from his training experiences that played a role in his team's heroic response in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Being a Ranger is, by design, not for everyone, but anyone can use the expectations and techniques of Ranger culture to achieve personal victory. Tanto shows you how to define your mission, set goals that are in alignment with your values, and develop a battle plan that will maximize your chances of success. You will learn why you should never quit and why that is different from never failing. Tanto uses his experiences in Basic and Ranger Training to explore how to deal with mistakes and disappointment like a leader, accept responsibility, and turn every obstacle into an opportunity for growth. You will learn why service and sacrifice will help you succeed-and how the power of humility, strength, faith, and brotherhood will sustain you on the road to accomplishing your mission.

My son (13 at the time) and I listened to this audio book on our way to a 3 Gun Match. While some of the content was somewhat adult, it wasn’t anything I’m worried about and my son probably got more out of this book then I did. I think my son identified with Paranto’s struggle with a learning disabi......more

There should be a field of study called "Grit-a-logy": The study of mental toughness and how it's cultivated. My inspiration for reading books like this one come from a deep sense of admiration for people who devoted their developing that raw inner strength. Grit isn't given, it demands a steep pric......more

Goodreads review by Megan on June 27, 2017

The militarily trained mind is definitely a superior way of thinking. Anyone can implement the principles found in this book, but it takes humility and self-discipline. Many people do not realize that humility is an incredible strength not a weakness. Through humility we see ourselves as we truly ar......more
