"Should be read by every leader in America... [MAKE YOUR BED] is a book to inspire your children and grandchildren to become everything that they can. It is a book to discuss with your executive leadership team as a spur to meeting shared goals. Most of all, it is a book that will leave you with tears in your eyes."-- Wall Street Journal
Synopsis
Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" ( Wall Street Journal ). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more , even in life's darkest moments. "Powerful." -- USA Today "Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." -- Washington Post "Superb, smart, and succinct." -- Forbes, Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" ( Wall Street Journal ).

    Brief, concise, useful.

    Principles we all should adopt! The content of this book would make excellent discussion material at the dinner table, with youth groups, at Sunday school or in daily conversation with your children. Adults will also benefit from the wise counsel in this little gem.

  • Top critical review

    This a good book for a young man.

    It's a simple book with some good lessons. It made me think of some of my own applicable experiences. Of course the over emphasis that this man was a Navy SEAL got to be repetitiously silly

    Heard the speech and it really had a profound effect on my way of thinking! So when I saw there was a book I knew I had to have it! It was easy to read and very informative! I really enjoyed it!
