"We will all find ourselves neck-deep in mud someday. That is the time to sing loudly, to smile broadly, to lift up those around you, and give them hope that tomorrow will be a better day."
Admiral William H. McRaven establishes fast yet simple life lessons that can be applied to anyone. McRaven organizes these "lessons" in chapters & provides examples from when he learned these in his career in the Seals, but outside them as well. My personal favorites include "You Must Dare Greatly" & "Life's not Fair- Drive On!"
I am not one for motivational books typically, but I found his military stories & life lessons to be transferable to the complexity of life itself.

Amazing impactful - though short - book, with spot-on encouragements on never giving up, hope, restlessness, discipline, unfairness and for me, a huge side effect of this great feeling of gratitude - we do take so many things for granted. It also sparked a discussion that may have not been not intended by the author directly, but inevitably permeates the whole feeling of the book: we are so much stronger mentally and physically than what the overall trend is leading us to believe/perceive, especially regarding the struggles of today's younger generations, and for a lot of us - though not all -, we definitely can cope and thrive our adversities with sheer willpower, courage, and discipline.

I'm not a self help book reader...but with the Bull Frog, the man who formed and executed the plan to take down Osama Bin Laden writes, I think it's worth reading. Ten simple rules based off of his commencement speech at the University of Texas-Austin that "can change your life and maybe the world. Excellent book that I'm sending to Tory.

Admiral William McRaven is a former Navy SEAL who uses the wisdom he gained from his Military training to help and inspire others. Doing small tasks, such as making your bed before you leave your home for the day, can inspire bigger wins.
Sadly, McRaven ended up paralysed and in a wheelchair, but he doesn’t let that hold him back from trying to make a positive impact on the world. This is very inspiring!
”Can making your bed spark world domination? Maybe not, but it's a start. Learn how a simple morning habit can initiate a chain reaction of resilience and success — no military training required.”
Read on the Headway app, which condenses non-fiction books by their key-points to maximise quicker and more helpful learning. ✨🧠🖤

This was interesting. I listened to the audiobook which was read by the author. He has a lot of really good stories to go with the things he's trying to teach. I think its worth a read if you are looking to better yourself.

Unfortunately could not relate to this book whatsoever. I respect that the reasonings for the "things that can change your life" are anecdotal, however it was disheartening to only see the mention of men, when there are countless women serving in the military.
Not to mention the narrator comes across as someone with extreme privilege, and the perspectives given are written in such a pompous way...
