Publisher's Synopsis
In "A F*ck Up Writes A Book" J. Greene, introduces the world to his concept of "Potent Masculinity" as the antidote to "Toxic Masculinity". James' career journey began in 2012 when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He served two tours of duty for Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) as an Anti-terrorism Specialist and continued his career as a civilian contractor, working as a Weapons Based Instructor both in a schoolhouse and for operational private security forces. After resigning his position as an Anti-terrorism Officer with the Department of Defense in 2018, he began the long and emotionally exhausting journey back to civilization. The self-sacrifice required to live a life dedicated to the protection of one's community from violent offenders is often lost on the masses. There's a popular Chinese proverb that says, "it's better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war," but how many stop to consider the warrior's perspective? You see, the life of the gardener is one founded in love. This life requires nurture, patience, and tender care. For the gardener, their purpose in the community is clear and accepted by all as moral and necessary. But the warrior dedicates their life to mastering chaos, pushing boundaries, and disciplining the heart and mind in anticipation for intense fear - and ultimately victory at all costs. Being disconnected from civility, and thus in many ways disconnected from compassion and love, is a sacrifice of all generations of peacekeepers. Their purpose is constantly subjected to ridicule and damnation by the civil world. But the war abroad was not where James' trauma started. It started in the home, where the soil of the garden he was supposed to grow and flourish in as a young child was toxified and nutrient-poor. Through the sharing of his story, James hopes this book serves as the beginning of a movement - one where a new definition of love takes over aiding you on your path to self-discovery and personal development.
