APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If you’ve ever wanted to experience Navy SEAL training, but without all the guns and calisthenics, then this little book is for you. Career Navy man Admiral William H. McRaven uses Make Your Bed—based on his commencement speech to the 2014 graduating class of the University of Texas—to turn his military experience into civilian tips for improving your life. The key concept he emphasizes is the importance of using your mistakes to spur better self-discipline. McRaven’s recurring metaphor of making your bed every morning culminates in an anecdote about Saddam Hussein’s captivity that illustrates the concept with startling gravity.
Customer Reviews
This book talks about what it means to have discipline and why we should have it.
I liked it , it was decent. Generally you learn more about what it means to become part of navi and the training and the importance of having discipline to physically and mentally to become a good navy commander
Fantastic Read.
Whilst the speech itself is good, Adm. MacRaven goes into even more detail about his experience in the SEALs and how his experience changed the lives for others. Highly recommend.
Not a book.
Good message but save your money and just watch the U of Texas commencement address.
