  1. What's it about?

    A Navy SEAL shares ten life principles learned during training that inspire perseverance, courage, and positive change.

  2. Popular highlight

    Life is a struggle and the potential for failure is ever present, but those who live in fear of failure, or hardship, or embarrassment will never achieve their potential. Without pushing your limits, without occasionally sliding down the rope headfirst, without daring greatly, you will never know what is truly possible in your life.

  3. Popular highlight

    In life you will face a lot of Circuses. You will pay for your failures. But, if you persevere, if you let those failures teach you and strengthen you, then you will be prepared to handle life’s toughest moments.
    8,430 Kindle readers highlighted this

  4. Popular highlight

    You cannot paddle the boat alone. Find someone to share your life with. Make as many friends as possible, and never forget that your success depends on others.
    8,425 Kindle readers highlighted this

  5. Popular highlight

    Remember… start each day with a task completed. Find someone to help you through life. Respect everyone. Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often. But if you take some risks, step up when times are toughest, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden, and never, ever give up—if you do these things, then you can change your life for the better… and maybe the world!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"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

"Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault...McRaven's lessons, like his commencement speech, extend far beyond his bed-making. He devotes the 10-chapter book to lessons about moving beyond failure, standing up to bullies and giving others hope."―Washington Post

"McRaven...has taken the genesis of what he learned during SEAL training and his nearly four decades in Navy Special Operations into a thin, powerful book."―USA Today

"Exquisitely simple...superb, smart, and succinct ideas."―Forbes

I stumbled across this as a recommendation from other readers and I always check the reviews before buying anything. Here’s my real person review. I’ve never been in any branch of the military, but I have been around it. This book of for all people in general but I feel is a great tool for anyone who has served before. I love the discipline aspect of it. And how the Admiral shared real life events and sequences that make up each chapter. I have been through ups and down in my life and while it seems as of the past 10-15 years just downs. This book, although not very long, is just right and helping me understand things and be encouraged to think differently and get out of my own head and way. The chapters 4: “life’s not fair - drive on”, and chapter 10: ”never, ever quit!” Really resonated with me! For the price, how the book was written, how it’s not too long, easy to read and understand. I would recommend this to anyone. Enjoy!
