Ed Hinman

✍️ Writes about Vigor, Wonder, & Fellowship
🇺🇸 Former Marine & Bodyguard
💪 Lover of History & Kettlebells
📖 "The Barbarian in You" Book Coming Soon

[TheMarcusAurelius1 @the1realmarcus]

@Ed_Hinman is a former Marine infantry officer, historian, bodyguard, and author of “The Barbarian in You.”

He spent years deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa. He did everything right on paper, and still came home asking “what does any of this mean?”

What he found on the other side of that question became a book, a philosophy, and a way of living built around three things: vigor, wonder, and fellowship.

On Acta Non Verba episode 314 we talk about Steven Pressfield, the creative life, ego, pain as a teacher, and what it looks like to stop chasing the version of yourself that other people approve of.

Grab your copies of Ed’s new book “The Barbarian in You” on Amazon today and follow him on social media to learn more about his powerful work.

Thanks to John Gallagher for inviting me onto The Uncommon Leader podcast and digging into my book, "The Barbarian in You." I start with a story about my first "sink or swim" moment in life at age 17. Listen here: https://t.co/YL8WqZio6E

Chapter 3 of The Barbarian in You is entitled, "England's Greatest Knight."

It's about Sir William Marshal who led a medieval cavalry attack at age 70!

"When I was feeling weak and mediocre as a teen, a friend introduced me to weight training. This awakened an intensity within me that transformed how I saw myself and changed the direction of my life."

Chapter 2 of The Barbarian in You is entitled, "Drawn to Iron."

It's all about finding "You Thing" -- that activity you are drawn to do -- and doing it with VIGOR.

Here’s the intro to the chapter:

New "Barbarian in You" blog post about the "Seawolves" of Vietnam. My dad and his best pals flew hundreds of combat missions. For those who survived, their reward has been a fifty-five-year party that’s still “chugging” along. https://t.co/jHXZArCNlz

I've wanted to visit Verdun, France since I was 16 years old. 32 years later, I finally did -- 106 years after the guns fell silent. I write about it here. https://t.co/lFqcCkcMWu @HardcoreHistory @dcsandbrook @holland_tom
