An SAS commander's practical blueprint for elite resilience, leadership and high-performance strategies, perfect for readers of Jocko Willink and David Goggins.

Forge unshakeable resilience. Build elite teams. Thrive under pressure.

Mark Wales served in the Australian Defence Force for 16 years, with 10 deployments across 5 countries. As an SAS Troop Commander, he led 30 elite soldiers on combat missions deep in enemy territory in Afghanistan. After leaving the army, he completed an Ivy League business degree and worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company.

In Mission Ready, Mark reveals the methods that drive the world's most elite teams. Part battle-tested manual, part resilience playbook, this book distils practical, actionable lessons for leaders, entrepreneurs, self-starters and anyone hungry to raise their game - in business, in sport, at home or in any competitive realm in life.

With lessons taken from the battlefield and the boardroom, this is the ultimate go-to toolkit for high performance, leadership and resilience.
