Many examples are from US military services and their invaasion in Pakistan, Afganistan etc. Harvard articles and strategies seems based on us military tactics in middle east and asia invasion areas. Normalizing this stuff.

In my current attempt at helping myself get a promotion at work, reading management books alongside taking management courses online, hopefully this will work (something has to eventually right?). This was a very interesting collection of essays about 'mental toughness' usually in regards to things like 'crucibles'; which is a term for a "super crazy crappy moment that happened that tested everything about me - who I am, what I am, my resolve, etc.". And then how do we handle ourselves, our surroundings, etc, afterwards of this crucible. Do we get PTSD or do we overcome the adversity? Do we get "post-traumatic growth" or "post-traumatic stress". A lot of the articles were based around the military and military practices and training of drill sergeants and similar personnel.

A very well rounded, informative, educational read. Worth the pickup at the library definitely and made me interested in others of the HBR's '10 Must Reads' series.
