Make Your Bed

Make Your Bed began as a commencement speech at the University of Texas that became a global viral sensation. In this short, powerful book, retired Admiral William H. McRaven, the man who oversaw the mission to capture Osama bin Laden, translates the ethos of Navy SEAL training into ten practical lessons for everyday life. Starting with the deceptively simple act of making your bed each morning, McRaven shows how small disciplines build confidence, how teamwork and trust are non-negotiable, how to keep going when life kicks you down, and why hope, even in the darkest moments, is a choice. A moving, direct, and inspiring book from one of America’s most distinguished military leaders.
