Summary
From decorated Green Beret sniper, UFC headliner, and all around badass, Tim Kennedy, a rollicking, inspirational New York Times bestselling memoir offering lessons in how to embrace failure and weather storms, in order to unlock the strongest version of yourself.

Tim Kennedy has a problem; he only feels alive right before he’s about to die. Kennedy, a Green Beret, decorated Army sniper, and UFC headliner, has tackled a bull with his bare hands, jumped out of airplanes, dove to the depths of the ocean, and traveled the world hunting poachers, human traffickers, and the Taliban.

But he’s also the same man who got kicked out of the police department, fire department, and as an EMT, before getting two women pregnant four days apart, and finally, been beaten up by his Special Forces colleagues for, quite simply, “being a selfish asshole.”

With his vivid and stirring voice, Scars and Stripes “is an authentic gut punch of a life lived with grit, resiliency, and a never-quit attitude in the face of heartbreaking failures and incredible success that every American can learn from” (Patrick Murphy, veteran and former United States Under Secretary of the Army). Kennedy reveals that failure isn’t the end—rather it’s the first step towards unearthing the best version of yourself and finding success, no matter how overwhelming the setbacks may feel.

Great listen! Completely about the life of Tim and does not stray away from that message.

I couldn't stop listening. Tim has an amazing story and he narrates his book like a champ. Enjoy.

Although the authors appears cocky, he has an amazing story. Not only has he been through a lot, but he is extremely accomplished. I definitely recommend this book. However, after listening, I would have preferred to read the book. the author narrates the book and it is not enjoyable. he truly doesn't understand the nuances of reading a book, such as intonation. It was very irritating when it sounds like the sentence continues and it's the end, etc. He should have let someone else read. I would go see him speak if he was giving a presentation, but I don't want to hear him read.

Tim lied about his deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Save your money

It’s all lies!!!!! TK is under investigation for stolen valor currently! What a disgrace!

A complete work of Fiction as it turns out. Tim made up half of the stuff that he did or happened to him, he is a disgrace to those of us who served

Great book! Tim Kennedy is incredible in every sense of the word! It's not often you find a person that goes between fighting for our country and in the UFC almost simultaneously, this guy has only one gear and that's GO!! If you're looking for a very well rounded book with a lot of action, this is for you!!!

Excellent in every respect. Listened to it on my drive from Atlanta to Minnesota. Very engaging. I stopped reading after the first 15 minutes just to process what I had heard. WOW.
