“An excellent, lifesaving book.”
“In my current role as a Supervisory Special Agent for the FBI, instructing police managers from throughout the United States and all over the world, I know this is an invaluable resource — a career-survival manual — for any first responder. I use it as required reading in my wellness courses at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Officers routinely report back to me how useful and meaningful they have found the many practical wellness strategies so clearly explained in this emotional-survival resource. . . . Having this information at the beginning of a career can help ensure a long, productive life of service and prevent you from suffering much heartache.”

Captain Willis conveys the importance of health, wellness, and departmental support, and he openly explains the hazards of the job and how to maintain career peak performance.” — Sara Gilman, MFT, psychotherapist and president, Coherence Associates, Inc. “Captain Willis successfully combines aspects of science, spirituality, and his personal experience to provide pragmatic approaches for individual officers and police organizations to maximize their health and longevity in their police careers. . . . An important and useful read.”
“Details practical steps that are not only effective but essential to help protect and ensure the wellness of those who serve. This book is a must-read for all first responders.”
“The book tells you why you might be traumatized by any number of criminal or emergency situations, and it offers case studies of events that would be hard to live with in the minds of even the strongest personalities. And then it brings suggestions, guidelines, and resolutions to help us live with the problems, crises, and destructions which we see every day in the lives of others.”
“Captain Willis has written a practical, extremely useful, and important guide for first responders everywhere. . . . This book offers the essential keys for preparation for, protection from, and healing after trauma for all those devoted to public safety.”
“[Captain Willis’s] work emphasizes the significance of wellness encompassing the mind, body, and spirit, and he reminds us that it is vital not only to nurture but to be nurtured as well.”
“Exposes the silent dangers, and sometimes killers, of many of our first-responder heroes in a dynamic and compassionate way . . . It will save lives.”
