Details Condition: New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781788703383 Publisher: Blink Publishing Overview Battle Ready: Eliminate Doubt, Embrace Courage, Transform Your Life is a brand-new paperback by ex-Special Forces soldier and SAS: Who Dares Wins star Ollie Ollerton. Written for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next step, this Sunday Times bestselling guide turns hard-won military discipline into a practical, step-by-step system for everyday life. Whether you are facing a career change, a personal setback, or simply need a reset, Ollie shows you how to trade hesitation for action and doubt for lasting determination. About the Book Drawing on experiences that range from gruelling SAS selection to high-stakes Special Forces operations, Ollie Ollerton strips away the myth of the "unbreakable soldier" to reveal the very real struggles that nearly broke him: a failed relationship, substance abuse, depression, and a painful reckoning with his own choices. Battle Ready is his answer to that low point, distilled into a clear framework anyone can follow. At its core is a simple but powerful process: find your true purpose, visualise a concrete outcome, identify the habits holding you back, and replace them with sustainable, positive routines. Rather than abstract theory, the book is built around actionable exercises designed to fit around busy, real-world lives, so readers can start applying the lessons immediately. Ollie draws parallels between the mental toughness required to survive Special Forces selection and the resilience needed to navigate everyday setbacks, showing that courage is a skill that can be trained rather than a trait you either have or lack. The result is an honest, no-nonsense companion for anyone ready to stop standing still and start moving forward, whatever "battle" they are currently facing. A clear four-step system: purpose, visualisation, breaking bad habits, and building positive routines Real, hard-won lessons from SAS selection and Special Forces service Honest reflections on depression, addiction, and personal setbacks Practical, actionable exercises designed for busy everyday life Written by a genuine Sunday Times bestselling author About the Author Matthew "Ollie" Ollerton is a former Special Forces soldier who began his military career at 18 with the Royal Marine Commandos, serving in Northern Ireland and during Operation Desert Storm in Iraq. He went on to spend six years in the Special Boat Service, rising to team leader, before working as a private security contractor and undertaking anti-child-trafficking charity work in Southeast Asia. He is a familiar face as a member of the Directing Staff on Channel 4's SAS: Who Dares Wins, and his books, including Break Point and Battle Ready, have both been Sunday Times bestsellers. Why You'll Love This Book Battle Ready cuts through generic self-help advice with a refreshingly honest, battle-tested approach to building courage and resilience.
