American Sniper meets Make Your Bed in these life lessons from decorated United States service members and New York Times bestselling authors Robert O’Neill and Dakota Meyer—an in-depth, fearless, and ultimately redemptive account of what it takes to survive and thrive on battlefields from Afghanistan and Iraq to our daily lives, and how the perils of war help us hold onto our humanity.

In the fall of 2009, Taliban insurgents ambushed a patrol of Afghan soldiers and Marine advisors in a mountain village called Ganjigal. Firing from entrenched positions, the enemy was positioned to wipe out 100 men who were pinned down and were repeatedly refused artillery support.

When we do, we often find ourselves feeling helpless and asking “Why?” Why did this happen to me? Why am I not the person I want to be? Why can’t I change? In Why to What, Dakota Meyer reveals a proven method—based on his Own the Dash lifestyle program—of reframing our unhealthy “Why?”s into powerful “What?”s.
