Overview
The youngest livingĀ Medal of Honor recipient delivers anĀ unforgettableĀ memoir that "willĀ inspire every readerāĀ (Jim Mattis)
NATIONAL BESTSELLER: A USA Today, Washington Post, and Publishers Weekly bestseller
On November 21, 2010, U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Kyle Carpenter was posted atop a building in violent Helmand Province, Afghanistan, when an enemy grenade skittered toward Kyle and fellow Marine Nick Eufrazio. Without hesitation, Kyle chose a path of selfless heroism that few can imagine. He jumped on the grenade, saving Nick but sacrificing himself.Ā Ā
One of the yearās most anticipated books, Kyleās remarkable memoir reveals a central truth that will inspire every reader: Life is worth everything weāve got. It is the story of how one man became a so-called hero who willingly laid down his life for his brother-in-armsāand equally, it is a story of rebirth, of how Kyle battled back from the gravest challenge to forge a life of joyful purpose.
Kyle Carpenterās heart flatlined three times while being evacuated off the battlefield in Afghanistan. Yet his spirit was unbroken. Severely wounded from head to toe, Kyle lost his right eye as well as most of his jaw. It would take dozens of surgeries and almost three years in and out of the hospitalĀ to reconstruct his body. From there, he began the process of rebuilding his life. What he has accomplished in the last nine years is extraordinary: heās come back a stronger, better, wiser person.
In 2014, Kyle was awarded the nationās highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his āsingular act of courageā on that rooftop in Afghanistan, an action which had been reviewed exhaustively by the military. Kyle became the youngest living recipient of the awardāand only the second living MarineĀ so honored since Vietnam.
You Are Worth It is a memoir about the war in Afghanistan and Kyleās heroics, and it is also a manual for living. Organized around the credos that have guided Kyleās life (from āDonāt Hide Your Scarsā to āCall Your Momā), the book encourages us to become our best selves in the time weāve been given onĀ earth. Above all, itās about finding purpose, regardless of the hurdles that may block our way.
Moving and unforgettable, You Are Worth It is an astonishing memoir from one of our most extraordinary young leaders.
