SEAL to Sage

the memoir, coming after The Restless Mind

The full story behind the practices — Beirut to pure presence.

SEAL to Sage traces the whole arc: a childhood of survival, the crucible of SEAL training, the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, and the eighteen years of silence that followed — then the long search that led, at last, to a quiet mind.

It is a memoir about what war costs, what it takes to come home, and what becomes possible once the fog lifts — written from the far side of the crossing.

“Head down on my desk, a voice from deeper than the chaos said: ‘I know there’s a better way; I just don’t know it yet.’ Then came the command: Find a way. That vow began a twenty-five-year journey without a map.”
