New book “Better Today Than Yesterday” translates high-stakes readiness principles into a sustainable framework for Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, and Physical progress
KANEOHE, Hawaii
Kevin L. Lewis, a Navy veteran, martial arts Hall of Fame inductee, and longtime trainer of military, law-enforcement, and private-sector security teams, has released Better Today Than Yesterday: A Practical Philosophy for Daily Growth. The book is now available in Kindle ($4.99) and paperback ($12.99) editions on Amazon at https://a.co/d/05CNOeMg.
Rather than urging dramatic transformation or intense motivation, the book presents a clear, workable operating system built around one simple standard: be better today than you were yesterday. Lewis draws the framework from years of operational experience in executive protection and high-stakes readiness training, then adapts those principles for everyday life.
The system centers on four interlocking domains—Spiritual (clarity of purpose and inner alignment), Mental (sharper thinking and better decisions), Emotional (steady presence under pressure), and Physical (the foundation that supports everything else). Readers learn practical methods for “bookending” the day with intentional morning and evening practices, using a simple daily and weekly review template, and applying concepts such as time, distance, opportunity, and options to ordinary decisions. The emphasis remains on consistent action over intention and on systems that can be sustained without burnout.
“Growth, education, and training must never end, or complacency will set in. Complacency kills,” Lewis states. The book reflects that same stance: progress is measured in daily, compounding actions rather than perfection or intensity.
Lewis is the founder of Universal Defensive Tactics, a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Krav Maga, a 1st Degree Black Belt in Shudo-Kan Karate, and a 2010 inductee into the Martial Arts Master’s Hall of Fame. He has prepared A-list actors for action roles in more than 20 major films and is the author of Idiot’s Guide to Krav Maga. He continues to train and teach from Kaneohe, Hawaii.
Better Today Than Yesterday is written for adults who have tried conventional self-help approaches and found them either too vague or unsustainable. It offers a calm, direct alternative focused on practice rather than theory.
