Critic reviews

"Should be read by every leader in America... [MAKE YOUR BED] is a book to inspire your children and grandchildren to become everything that they can. It is a book to discuss with your executive leadership team as a spur to meeting shared goals. Most of all, it is a book that will leave you with tears in your eyes."—Wall Street Journal
"Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault...McRaven's lessons, like his commencement speech, extend far beyond his bed-making. He devotes the 10-chapter book to lessons about moving beyond failure, standing up to bullies and giving others hope."—Washington Post
"McRaven...has taken the genesis of what he learned during SEAL training and his nearly four decades in Navy Special Operations into a thin, powerful book."—USA Today
"Exquisitely simple...superb, smart, and succinct ideas."—Forbes

Excellent motivational book from a particularly high achieving individual. Clear no nonsense approach with solid narration. Highly recommended

Better than any Tony Robbins book!!

I heard about this book from a podcast interview and liked the sound of this book. I even put aside my reservations about the price (just under £10), given such a short book.

However, just about everything mentioned in the book was covered in the 20-40 minute podcast and the book seems to repeat itself at times.

Perhaps a shorter book and much lower price would make this work. There is 4-5 star advice given, but quite a lot of padding.

Good advice, but a tad repetitive
