I FAILED AT DYING: A VETERAN’S JOURNEY THROUGH PAIN, PURPOSE, AND SURVIVAL.

What if your greatest failures were the very things that kept you alive?Dr. Joseph A. Brooksbank Sr. has spent his life chasing purpose-through military service, leadership, education, and family. But behind the achievements was a deeper battle: trauma, loss, identity, broken dreams, and the crushing weight of feeling like he was never enough.In I FAILED AT DYING, Joseph shares his raw and deeply personal journey through failure in its many forms-failed expectations, failed relationships, failed careers, and one life-altering night when he failed at ending it all.That failure became the turning point that saved his life.This powerful memoir takes readers through the unseen struggles many veterans and everyday people face: the fight with mental health, the pain of reinvention after loss, and the difficult road of rebuilding when everything feels broken.Honest, gripping, and unapologetically real, I FAILED AT DYING is more than a story of survival-it is a story of resilience, redemption, and discovering that sometimes moving forward begins by falling apart.If you've ever felt lost, broken, or like life has knocked you down too many times, this book will remind you of one truth: Your failures do not define you. They may just be the reason you survive.
