  The war in Afghanistan had grown to its most violent of times, and Helmand Province had made for some of the bloodiest battles. With their departure to the front lines fast approaching, a Welsh infantry battalion was in the process of selecting their very best men to be put forward for sniper training.The young Welshmen selected grew to become the closest of friends as they navigated their way through the difficult sniper cadre. After losing one of their own to the Taliban shortly after the course, Ted and the rest of the lads deployed to Helmand Province and the raging war for the second time. Follow their journey as they take on the Taliban, from enemy snipers to Taliban leaders. Deploying on the biggest air assault operation since the Second World War, they made shots from a mile away and even took out two enemy fighters with one round. They were battle winners, and they earned their title of sniper, but it was not without cost.As the tour in Afghanistan came to an end, Ted began to feel the effects of what will later be diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder, and it quickly took over his life, sending him on a downward spiral. This was a humbling, terrifying experience which lasted for over a decade, and very nearly took his life. With an uninspiring diagnosis of no known cure, Ted decides to take control of his life and find his own solutions, in this riveting story.With detailed accounts of the unravelling of his mind and intricate insights into the taking of a life with the squeeze of a trigger, Afghanistan Sniper takes listeners through a journey of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows known only to those who have been on that same journey.A supplemental PDF will be available to download with your purchase

  ABOUT THE BOOK 
  Taking care of oneself is the most vital aspect that contributes to our self-improvement journey. Self-care is a journey that begins when we genuinely commit to looking after all dimensions of ourselves. This involves nurturing our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Our body is akin to a temple where numerous essential tasks and functions occur, playing a crucial role in achieving our life's purpose. 
  Writing this book is my endeavor to offer insights drawn from my personal experiences and research, aimed at guiding and motivating readers to prioritize their holistic health. 
  My journey towards health and fitness began in my childhood, and it was further strengthened post-pregnancy when I managed to reduce my weight from 90 kg to 63 kg within less than 18 months through mindful dietary choices. 
  Drawing from these life-changing experiences and my unique perspective, I felt compelled to share my insights with others. If I could bring about transformative changes in my life by nurturing holistic health, I believed anyone could. 
  My journey has led me to believe that true success emerges from a balanced approach to life, where physical, mental, and spiritual well-being converge to shape a fulfilled and purposeful existence. 
  My intention behind writing this book is to share my experiences and insights, hoping to inspire and guide readers on their own journeys towards holistic well-being. If even a single person benefits from my experiences, it would be a significant achievement.
