Publisher's Summary

Now with a new bonus chapter featuring a six-week Battle Ready programme.

How do you make a commitment and achieve your goals?

How do you end procrastination and hesitation that feeds self-doubt?

How do you learn to be courageous in all aspects of your life?

Ex-Special Forces soldier Ollie Ollerton knows more than his fair share about keeping going. As a recruit he survived the infamously tough SAS selection process on a busted ankle with the directing staff pleading with him to give up. But it's in Ollie's personal life that he really had to dig deep. At his lowest he was battling a failed relationship, substance abuse, depression and a reckless disregard for his own life. In his new audiobook, Ollie tells the story of how he turned his life around and passes on the lessons he has learned.

In Battle Ready Ollie shares the step-by-step plan that changed his life. From finding purpose and visualising an outcome, to breaking bad habits and establishing positive new routines, his advice will help listeners to overcome their own obstacles; to become ready for any battle.

Featuring an exclusive debrief with Ollie and Jason Fox (co-host of SAS: Who Dares Wins and author of Battle Scars and Life Under Fire).

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Free yourself, and be who you really want to be

a freebie on my account, and recommended to me by my wife. Great story, and while may be similar to others on self help there's always that gem. a handy training exercise in just the box breathing. should be more of this out there.

Another amazing book by Ollie

Really enjoyed this book and took a lot from it. I read this and Break Point by Ollie straight after each other and got so much put of them. Love how honest everything is.

Motivating read, just do your own research on diet

Great book overall, highly motivating. However I found his dietary advice misses the mark and was off-putting, repeating the mainstream mantra that red meat and dairy is bad for us, and that we should increase plant foods. Why he eats organic :"If pesticides are bad for insects, they must be bad for us?" 100% true, but the vast majority of pesticides come from the organic compounds in all plants, so why increase these toxins? A very good read, and diet is a small part of the book, but I'm sick of being lectured too about anti-meat, plant based diets, when there is a wealth of literature, and high quality science, questioning this advice.

Awesomeness abounds.

Books are best when narrated by the author. Better again when they have lived it and believe it. Ollie's book is by far one of the best at actually caring about the reader and provides tangible advice on becoming 'battle ready' for life. Take heed of the exercises provided and pull yourself out of the hole. The only person who can change you is you. Build yourself up using this book as your manual.
Cheers Ollie. Brisbane missed out on something cool when you left.
