Rye Barcott’s Courage Can Save Us Becomes a New York Times Bestseller

09 Jul 2026

Rye Barcott’s new book, Courage Can Save Us, is a New York Times bestseller and has continued to earn national attention in the weeks since its release.

The recognition is a fitting milestone for a book centered on courage, service, and principled leadership. In Courage Can Save Us, Barcott shares the stories of Americans whose commitment to service offers a hopeful and practical reminder of what leadership can look like in divided times.

A Marine Corps veteran, social entrepreneur, and cofounder of With Honor, Barcott has dedicated his career to bringing people together across differences to solve complex challenges. His work is grounded in the belief that trust, character, and shared purpose remain powerful forces for meaningful change.

That message resonates strongly with audiences looking for leadership that goes beyond politics or position. Drawing on experiences from the military, nonprofit leadership, entrepreneurship, and public service, Barcott challenges audiences to think more deeply about courage—not only as an act of bravery, but as a daily commitment to integrity, service, and the common good.

As Courage Can Save Us continues to reach readers, Barcott’s perspective feels especially timely: leadership rooted in courage can help restore trust, bridge divides, and move people toward something larger than themselves.
