The Combat Doctor
'I had seen dozens of people die horrible deaths ... This time was different. This time it was a friend of mine dying in the dirt in front of me, and it was my job to save him.'
In this frank and vivid memoir, I describe the highs and lows of my military-medical career, with the real toll they took on my mental health and family life.
I write about the burden of saving - and failing to save - friends and comrades, the feelings of helplessness and despair that haunted me, and the journey back to a meaningful and fulfilling civilian life.
This memoir is a tribute to the doctors, medics, and first responders working behind the scenes in conflict around the world.

The Resilience Shield
The Resilience Shield is the culminated experience of three SAS veterans — Ben Pronk (my brother), Tim Curtis, and myself.
We developed The Resilience Shield after examining the impact of extreme stress and how people stay strong in the face of overwhelming circumstances.
Teaming up with the University of Western Australia, we used thousands of results from our Resilience Survey to prove our model builds resilience.
This book has all our research on stress and resilience, with personal experiences and stories of incredible people we're lucky enough to know.

Motivational Lessons from an Ex-Army Special Forces Doctor
Ever get the feeling that you're destined for greatness but don't quite know how to get started? Perhaps you're stuck in a rut with life passing you by. Maybe there's a fear you'll die wondering what you could have achieved.
If so, this book is for you.
I show how you can break "impossible" goals into smaller, achievable sub-goals. You'll have a clear pathway to start and build momentum.
Using Special Forces selection case studies, I uncover how average people with above-average persistence beat stronger, faster, and smarter people.
This book will inspire you to do more. It could be getting off the couch or doubling down on your existing goals. Regardless of your ambitions, you'll supercharge your commitment to achieving them.
You only get one go at this life, so what are you waiting for? Read it, and get going!
