How to Win at Life

A Combat Veteran Shares His Secrets for Success.


How do you rebuild a meaningful life after war?


In How to Win at Life, retired Lieutenant Colonel John J. McBrearty—known as “Colonel Mack”—shares a deeply personal and inspiring roadmap for turning hardship into purpose.


Through raw honesty, faith, discipline, and the healing power of writing, McBrearty reveals how he transitioned from the intensity of combat to a mission of service at home. This book is more than a veteran’s story—it is a guide for anyone seeking direction, hope, and fulfillment after life’s toughest battles.


Told through an engaging interview format, How to Win at Life explores resilience, creativity, grief, leadership, and the pursuit of purpose.


Whether you are a veteran, writer, mentor, or someone struggling to find your next chapter, this book will remind you:


Your life still has meaning. Your story still matters.
