Make Your Bed. It’s a very short book - 10 chapters each correspond to a different piece of wisdom. However, each chapter/section seems to end JUST when there seems to be a “teachable moment.” As a result, the book contains more stories from McRaven’s time in the military than actionable advice. Potentially useful content feels interrupted - rather than illustrated - by the author’s stories. McRaven should have gone more in depth with advice to readers. Luckily, this surface-level advice can be read in a few hours, so it doesn’t end up consuming *too* much of your time

Love it. As a 16 yr old girl, this book was absolutely beautiful. Some parts are slow and hard to read get through, but you have to look at the book as a whole. I would definitely recommend for anyone over 12-13 ish because it has some more intense topics that could be difficult for someone younger to understand.

Ringing the bell. I like this book! It's inspiring, and I wouldn't hesitate to pass this along to my kids and grandkids. After reading the book though I wonder about those guys who rang the bell, those who quit. I think most of us mortals would do well to get half way through the rigorous SEAL training. My hat off to those who tried, but failed. I bet you kept trying and found something you were good at, that was fulfilling, and quite possibly inspiring.

Me gusto. Pues me medio perdí ya casi al final pero fue porque lo deje de leer, así que tuve que buscar resúmenes de los capítulos y juro que me gusto mucho el mensaje que viene detrás de cada capitulo. Muy bueno!!

Make Your Bed. Wow! This is an awesome book. Regardless of your position in life personally or professionally. I hate the book ended. Yes, it's that good!!

Inspirational. In these pages and stories one can find the inspiration to make a difference - not only for themselves - but for all - to make the world a much better place for future generations. Enjoy.

Book that made me better. Awesome read. Gratitude and humility personified

Great Book I recommend.. Great Book I recommend.

Book Review. The only easy day was yesterday. Isn't that the truth. This was an excellent read and recommend it without reservation.

Make Your Bed. Great read! This should be a mandatory read in school.

I'am literally 'speechless.'. Not rocket science. Yet, so many people just don't get it.

No. I would’ve enjoyed it, but my school made me read it during a pandemic while I had other classes to complete homework for.

Very true. We live in a world where most organizations are trying to abuse you in one way or another. Sometimes significantly others not so significantly. Good ole boy organizations are the worst. These life hacks will help you succeed and overcome.

MAke your bed. Excellent motivating well written

Great inspirational book. I’ll read it a couple time but it’s a great book to get inspired.

Absolutely love this book!. I absolutely love this book. It hits home if you interact and visualize what you're reading. It will bring so much value to the reader especially the last chapter where it summarizes the 10 lessons of life that Admiral McRaven learned and shares in this book. I've read it twice and it's just an amazing book. You can read it within 2 hours or so. Start each day with a small win and a small accomplishment. Start each day by perfectly making your bed. It will set your day started in a positive note and if you somehow end up having a bad day, you can at least come home to a perfectly and nicely made bed. This book is a must! I encourage everyone to get it.

Quick, Inspiring Read. This book is a good quick read that will teach you life lessons from a former Navy Seal. If you like reading the many books from former Seals, this is a must to add to your collection. Quick and concise, the author gets to the point of each lesson in each chapter.

Enjoyed thoroughly. Excellent read, enjoyed how much it made me evaluate my life in its totality and realize I have a lot to be thankful for and not really much to complain about.

Teacher. When I started reading this book at 645 am, I found myself finishing the read at 758 pm. Me being a Marine Military Brat, these words sound familiar from my father's advice. If anything these ten advices is what I'm going to share with my students whom live in the inner city of Houston, Texas.

Excellent book. What a great book the lessons here are essential

If only it was longer!!!. Saw his commencement speech online and immediately bought the book. Love hearing these experiences and being in the Marine Corps I can relate to a lot. The only bad thing is how short it is, I wanted to hear more. But overall excellent book!!!!

Inspired!!!!!. I am always amazed at the mental toughness that our soldiers bring - it is so powerful and inspiring. Thank you for making a difference. Great Words! I will take them with me and work on my attitude and mental toughness!

Very misleading. Purchased this book to learn more about healthy habits. Ended up getting a book written by a narcissistic veteran who needed a vent to tell his war stories. Total waste of time

Inspiring Work. This is a tremendous book with valuable lessons that I will teach to my sons. Highly recommended. Admiral McRaven is a true American hero that we can all learn from.

Make Your Bed. What an inspiration. This book clearly shares the personal qualifications that men and women in our armed forces possess and why we as Americans are so fortunate to have these individuals protecting us and our country. Every high school senior and college freshman should have this book as required reading.

Invaluable Life Lessons. An invaluable treatise easily applied to all facets of life. Many of these lessons I learned in my own 21 year Navy career, both the easy and hard way. I passed this book on to my teenage daughter, who demonstrates some of these lessons already, but mastery is a life-long endeavor. Highly recommended! Thanks Admiral.

Chapters. Each chapter has a beautiful message.

Great book. It’s one of the few books you can’t put down. Simple message with powerful impact on your daily life, from the moment you see the cover.

Excellent. Very well written story with a lot of good life lessons. Definitely recommend this as a must read!

Great wisdom that applies to everyone's life. This small book was full of wisdom. The lessons that the writer shared with us as a navy seal applies to everyone, regardless of what you do. The best wisdom I learned was to NEVER ring the bell. Regardless how tough life may gets, never give up.

Make Your Bed. A most inspiring book. Should be mandatory reading for everyone!

Just wow. Where has this book been all my life? This is the most inspirational book I’ve ever read. Thank you for the inspiration.

Basic And Simple....and true. I saw Adm. McRaven’s 2014 Commencement speech, which impressed me very much. Then I heard there is a book, based on the speech - so I bought it and read it. The lessons are very fundamental. And because they are so fundamental they are easy to understand and easy to to relate to. His lessons of perseverance despite detractors and nay-sayers, of asking for help from and giving help to others, of respect and looking beyond externalities in a person, are universal. I think the reason for the positive resonance McRaven got for his book is that all these simple lessons also still apply for the high performing outliers of society like the Navy SEALS. The book is a quick read, but gives the reader plenty of food for thought and opportunities to life vicariously, before one starts to look at one’s own life - where one meets and falls short of these 10 guiding principles.

Amazing. One of the best books I’ve read it is really motivational definitely 5 stars

Terrible. There’s bad and then there’s make your bed

Amazing. Amazing read with great lessons. This is a book that young leaders should read.

Awesome, inspiring and simple.. I will be sending a copy of this book to my son’s. They are not in the military, they don’t need to be to understand the messages.

So. So. So. Good.. Straight forward and to the point. The insights and lessons, life lessons. Just buy it, and read it. You won’t regret it. This is for those who are questioning their place in life, who question what’s the point of continuing on. I needed this.

Some helpful. U can make far better choice with ur time

Great inspirational book. It’s a great read.

Life changing. What a wonderful way to inspire. The stories took me right at the places and times he described but most importantly he make me look at my life in a different angle; how much time I lost worried about unimportant things, depressed and sad. After reading the first chapters before I went to sleep, next morning I woke up with a different view of my life, first thing I did at waking up was to be thankful for another day, I made my bed as perfect and I could and I took a long walk and started a new day and a big smile on my face .

Good read!. Good book and great speech.

Cortell. Amazing it was short but impactful I felt connected to every story told and I believe the wisdom shared in this book will impact everyone who reads this in a powerful positive way!

This is the best bruh. 🔥🔥🔥

Life Changing. Awesome book!! It help me get some perspective on life when I really needed it.

Everything except the YouTube speech. I’m have seen the video about a dozen times and I just had to read some more about the person

Make Your Bed. Thank you Admiral McRaven for your service, and for this wise and inspiring book of SEAL based lessons learned to meet life’s challenges and obstacles. In the current medical battle of diagnosing and battling Covid 19 in the ED, this book reminds and encourages me that we can, and must persevere, for those we care for and serve. Thank you for the inspiration, wisdom, and hope to continue do so. Bravo Zulu.

Excellence.. Admiral McRaven details BUD/S and SEAL training like no other and in doing so teaches the hidden lessons many struggle to see in the grueling weeks of BUD/S. I am and have always been a very big fan of Admiral McRaven’s book, teachings and lessons. A stellar officer with a stellar career, a true military leader at heart with so much to teach. Excellent read.

Short and to the point. McRaven doesn’t use more words than necessary to get his point across. This was a great read.

Very Motivating. Amazing book. Every chapter has a incredible message to the reader along with a motivating story.

Not a book.. Good message but save your money and just watch the U of Texas commencement address.

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.

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
