In Harm's Way by Glen Burton
Nature versus nurture. It is a concept widely debated by many, but Glen Burton knows better than most: with sheer determination and motivation, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Throughout In Harm's Way, Glen shows exactly how, through physical and mental challenges, coupled with some of the most demanding and testing of environments, he was able to become a self-motivated, driven and focused individual who is always moving forward. Army basic training is no easy task, and especially not at sixteen years of age. The tests separated those who wanted to be soldiers from those who couldn't maintain the necessary focus. The training was gruelling and the methods strict, but they ensured only the most strong-minded and resolute made it through. There was no let-up; no easy road to be taken. And even when the conditions were unbearable and the bad got worse, for Glen, failure was no option. A career spanning 10 years in the Army; almost 20 years protecting some of the world's most famous, high net worth and powerful individuals; a motivational speaker and leader, and owner of Q Three Zero. A total of 88 countries, 164 cities and hundreds of flights. Glen Burton is a clear example of how much one person can achieve in their lifetime, regardless of their roots, of circumstance, of position. All it takes is strength of character, unwavering focus, self-discipline and humility. Through this incredibly revealing book, Glen Burton discusses the wars he fought, the personal battles he faced, his losses, and how he came to protect some of the world's biggest names, whilst remaining humble and down to earth, and always moving forward.
'WowI was a bit emotional as the book came to a close! Glen definitely shows that anything is possible and that your roots, beginnings and circumstance don't matter. All that matters is your own want to aim high and achieve; you can discipline and motivate yourself to achieve anything. It's a humbling read.' Hayley Paige, UK, Notebook Publishing
