The Battle Series
Four battles. One life.
The business that nearly broke him. The marriage that moved into the boardroom. The family court that came for his kids. And the quiet, private war he had to fight afterwards — with himself. Four no-nonsense books that trace one man's fight — told straight, with the anger kept in the facts, and a practical playbook at the back of each.
By Eric Purvis, with Joe Walsh
The Battle of Business
A no nonsense guide to winning the business battle
Where it began. Joe Walsh buys a family entertainment centre and it nearly eats him alive — the stress, the cash flow, the marriage strained to breaking. With his coach Eric, he turns a time-sucking, money-sucking machine into a business that finally runs without him. The foundations every owner-operator needs.
Battle of the Boardroom v Bedroom
A no nonsense guide to family, love and business
He'd won the business — then love moved into the boardroom. When his wife takes over the company one quiet "let it go" at a time, the boardroom and the bedroom become the same room. The governance that keeps family, love and a balance sheet all alive: circuit-breaker advisory boards, roles and scorecards, and the one agreement every couple in business skips.
The Battle for the Kids
A no nonsense guide to the battle for your kids
When the marriage came apart, so did everything — and a system Joe was sure would find the truth came for his three sons. Part memoir, part survival guide: the restraining orders, the finding made without him, the day his son's email changed everything, and a full Field Manual any parent can use tonight. Every number about the system is real and sourced.
The Battle Within
Finding yourself, love and joy after the system took everything
He survived the war — then had to survive the peace. With his kids and his name but nothing left inside, Joe faces the battle nobody warns you about: the numbness, the legal-system PTSD, and the question of whether a man broken this badly can feel joy, find purpose, or ever love again. Honest psychology, a practical Toolkit, and a map back from the empty — for the fathers, and the people who love them.
Where to start
Each book stands on its own — but together they tell one story, in order: The Battle of Business (build it) → Battle of the Boardroom v Bedroom (protect it when love and work collide) → The Battle for the Kids (survive it when it all comes apart) → The Battle Within (come back to life when it's over). If you're a business owner, start at Book One. If you're a parent staring down the family court right now, start at Book Three. And if the fight is over but you're standing in the wreckage of yourself, start at Book Four — and know you're not alone.
