This is a real treat for Halloween!
I know this NY Times Bestseller has been on many reading lists. There’s a reason, this is an incredible book.
In Make Your Bed, Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World, retired Navy Admiral William H. McRaven shares the ten principles he learned during his Navy SEAL training. Each of these principles, while some may seem so basic, can change you. If you let them. McRaven recounts his training days with such heart, passion, and humility, that you can’t help but be moved. Whether you’re a corporate executive, a stay-at-home mom, or a student, there’s something in it for everyone. My favorite, Chapter Six – “You Must Dare Greatly.” McRaven states:
“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.”
So well said!
The book is not particularly lengthy and can easily be read over a weekend. However, if you’re the type who prefers audiobooks, I highly recommend this one specifically because the Admiral reads it himself which adds an extra quality to the storytelling.
