I found this book to be a nice reminder of some good life values. I later learned that this book came to be after McRaven gave a speech at a college commencement.
The nice thing about this book is that it is very quick to read and doesn’t belabor the main points. I read this book in a morning while drinking coffee.
Each chapter shares a story about McRaven’s time as a Navy SEAL and how you can apply the lesson to your life.
Overall the book has a very positive, can-do attitude about it that is good if you need a pick me up.
I only gave this book a 4-star rating because although it was a good reminder it didn’t go as deep as I like on books that I strongly recommend.
There wasn’t a lot of the nerdy science and other stuff that I like in this book but it still is a worthwhile read for those looking to change their lives and find positive ways to think about change.
