When Fox talks about his stories about life in the warzones, you do not feel disconnected from the overall principle of this book & it’s messages of how we can all change! Instead, the addition of personal stories - that are then represented in other life situations we may be more familiar with - you are taken more deeply into this book. Jason Fox delivers expertly a contrast of his own gripping stories & making them relatable to us readers unfamiliar with the thrill-seeking & dangerous scenarios this man has been in.

All of a sudden I was finished and I didn’t know what to do – it’s like being trained up in something and never being allowed to do it again.

Thanks so much for helping me sort it all at such short notice too!" - Sarah, Savills Hotels Jason Fox spoke at our Company Conference.

He wrote a best-selling book, Battle Scars, about his time serving in the military services and the effect it had on his mental health. Move on from failure“Things go wrong all the time – you aren’t changing that. So embrace it. It’s a learning process. Use it as a tool to then go on and be better.” + Fear factor: ‘The moment that changed my life’ Be loyal“You do loads of command courses in the special forces and what really stands out for me is that you need to trust people. Loyalty will breed loyalty.” Outside of his military career, some of Fox’s bigger adventures include rowing across the Atlantic ocean from Lagos, Portugal to Macuro, Venezuela in 2016 with four of his mates Aldo Kane, Matthew Bennett, Ros Johnson and Oliver Bailey. Known as Team Essence, their expedition [13] took the crew 50 days over 3,308 nautical miles, and landed them a record for becoming the first team to row unsupported, crossing the Atlantic Ocean from east to west - from mainland Europe to South America, non-stop from mainland to mainland. Across the journey Team Essence also raised money for the NSPCC. Be resilient“If you’re scared of something and go into a flat spin, you become no good to yourself or anyone. Use that fear to focus on what it is you’re doing.”While in the SBS, Fox planned and led operations including hostage rescue, counter-terrorism, counterinsurgency, maritime counter-terrorism, surveillance, bodyguarding and counter-narcotics missions.

Don’t be too alpha“Don’t give it the big ‘I am’. Do that in the wrong situation and you’re dead. You’ve got to gauge the environment and respond accordingly.” In this book, Fox is great at displaying how we all need to build certain grounding characteristics if we are to succeed in the ever rolling up & down of life! The ground-breaking new book from former Special Boat Services Sergeant Jason Fox, star of Channel 4's SAS Who Dares Wins and number one bestselling author of Battle Scars. If you want an honest account on how to deal with the every day S.it life throws at you then this is brilliant. During my military career, I dealt regularly with fear, emotional breakdown, pain in hostile environments and the horrors of war. I summoned bravery during intense gun battles and, perhaps more courageously, raised my hand for help during my darkest moment - though it took a while. The psychological techniques I developed during my time as an elite operator still serve me today, in and out of danger.’ – Jason FoxI think everyone needs to read this right now. We all need a.mental NOT dealing with the dramatic changes 2020 has thrown at us. Fox, with his buddy of many years and co-star of SAS: Who Dares Wins Ollie Ollerton, co-founded Break Point – a corporate team building, training and events company. In 2019 Fox and Ollerton went on to launch a fitness and wellbeing app Battle Ready 360 – which focuses on personalised plans for individuals looking to balance mind, body and nutrition. Having enjoyed SAS Who Dares Wins and seen Foxy reveal his issues mentally after being discharged from special services, enjoyed this read where he pulls from his military life and relates lessons he’s learned to “normal” life. I am impressed with how Fox opens up, and it does appear to be a follow on from Battle Scars (the first of Fox’s literary efforts), with certain elements of his mental health explored some more, but ultimately, providing the reader with his solutions to battle through the fog.
