MWSA Review
Lee Kelley in his book Look to the Warriors: 12 Perspectives to Cultivate Inner Peace has given us an interesting and easily followed collection of advice on achieving inner peace. His hypotheses is simple: the training and experiences that most people in the military receive prepare them to better handle stress in a variety of situations. If a person tries to emulate that training and the lessons learned, he/she might have a better chance to achieve inner peace. While one might easily argue that people in the military suffer from stress just as much or more than civilians, Kelley's point is well taken. In his book, the author provides numerous "case studies" to illustrate his hypothesis. Kelley also suggests that leaders in any profession could learn from how the military instills confidence, team spirit, and several more positive traits. The book serves as a good guide for both the individual and the leader. It is well worth reading by anyone seeking self or team improvement.
