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
Inspiring is an understatement...a MUST READ!
Every young adult starting a new chapter in their life should read this book. Every leader should reinforce these lessons...a marvelous and inspiring read!
A good book for those entering the workforce
Admiral Mcraven book for life is a great read for those of us who are qualified Special Forces, Rangers or Seals. I can relate to his trials in becoming a SEAL which is no minor accomplishment. I just do not think his stories transition well to those entering the work force or looking for guidance for what to do next. Those who aspire to do great things, I believe, are already internally motivated and no amount of cold, phyiscal demand or sand in one’s life will deter them from thir goals. If this books helps one individual learn the importance of never giving up on one’s goals for life, then the Admiral has hit the mark.
