Bill mcraven make your bed6/30/2023 It is not an academic or pretentious book – very down to earth – and he tells simple stories from his life in the SEAL Teams and translates the lessons to apply to any walk of life. My Impressions: This is a short, fun-to-read book that captures highlights of the wisdom that Bill McRaven gleaned from his 36 years in the Navy, amplified by some great stories that drive home the lessons he intends to impart. Each lesson is from his SEAL experience, and begins with “If you want to change the world….” He offers the graduating seniors 10 lessons he learned during his career in the SEALs that may help them in their lives after graduation, in whatever field they go into. This book is an expansion on the speech Adm Bill McRaven gave as the graduation commencement speaker for the University of Texas in 2014 which went viral and became an internet hit. One of them had read it and said it would be a really good one for us to read and talk about. Why this book: Selected as a book to discuss by the group of young men I meet with who are preparing to begin SEAL and SWCC basic training.
