9 Rules of Engagement Audiobook Summary
The Emmy award-winning news anchor of Outnumbered Overtime with Harris Faulkner and co-host of the talk show Outnumbered shares the lessons she learned growing up in a military family paying homage to the military ideals that shaped her and showing how everyone can benefit from bringing the wisdom of military service into their lives.
Born into a military family, Harris Faulkner revered her father, a decorated career officer who served three tours of duty in Vietnam and raised his children with the values and ideals of the U.S. military. Accompanying him from posting to posting, young Harris experienced firsthand how success in life was rooted in the knowledge, integrity, and leadership that came from her military surroundings. Indeed, these formative lessons in leadership and work ethic became the guiding principles for her career as a journalist, lessons she credits with her rise to become one of the top hosts on Fox News.
Now, she shares the advice, wisdom, and tools that she absorbed through her military upbringing, examining how these ideals have shaped her professional and personal outlook and how everyone can incorporate them into their own lives. Using her father’s career as the backdrop to her experience, she explores the lessons in courage, duty, patriotism, and responsibility that helped her succeed, demonstrating the truth to the axiom that in military families everyone serves–together. Along the way she also interviews current and former military families, generals and other officers, and tells stories from her father’s career to illuminate how and why the message and mission of the military is so effective at changing lives both on and off the battlefield.
This instructive book, part memoir, part motivational life guide, reminds us of our most important values–the keys to a successful life.

I love Harris Faulkner, so I jumped at her new book. I also got audible, because I believe the author is usually the best orator on a book they have written. For me, it started slow. I thought the first chapter was a bit all over the place. But, then it settled down and I looked forward to wandering the pages. It is worth a read, just for all the engaging stories throughout. As it progressed, I found myself sharing her ideas more often - a sure sign that I was enjoying it. I really feel like now I should go back and reread the first chapter. It might fall into line better for me. I would recommend this book to anyone with some difficult obstacles or tough decisions in their path.

One of the best books I have ever read! This book can relate to everybody. I am going to buy another copy for my daughter. After reading this book and following Harris Faulkner's advice, I feel i can accomplish any goal I have in my life. This book will inspire people to make their lives better. I am donating this book to my local library in the hope that lots of people will be able to read this book. I hope Harris Faulkner writes another book, soon!

True accounting of a military brat growing up in the Vietnam era nice to see an account of the very real positive aspects of growing up in a military family. I am about the same age as her father and had a similar deployment pattern,kids and my wife died after my retirement . the observations and lessons she relates ring true a i could identify with the situations she recalled. I was particularly struck by the description of how her father managed the terminal illness and passing of his wife. It was a Paralympic mind although in my case it was Alzheimer's over 10 years. It was a mission for me too and most of my civilian friends didn't get it. I have been a fan for some time and now one why.

Great motivational book! Harris talks about her upbringing as a military "brat" and the life lessons taught to her and lived for her by her Mother, Father and Grandmother. I am tempted to give this book to my 3 college granddaughters, because, if they read it and applied even some of the 9 Rules, their lives would benefit. Harris is a remarkable woman. Minor note, Haris legally changed her name to Harris Faulkner when she was younger. She worshipped her father, Bob Harris, who was called Harris by everyone. Faulkner is a family name. Harris quote: "Success is a journey, it is not a destination."

Harris Faulkner is as good in her book as she is in person. I have heard her speak twice. She is very personable. I listened to this book on Audible and she helps put emotion behind the words.Insightful book.

I love Harris Faulkner as a commentator on Fox. I didn't realize she wrote this book until once again, I was in jail. Harris is a great author. I have the utmost respect for her, her family and her father. Mr. Faulkner, as a US Army veteran, I salute you sir. I served yes, but you did the full twenty. Much respect to you. God Bless sir
