Synopsis

Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller is full of of powerful, life-changing lessons.

"Should be read by every leader in America" —Wall Street Journal

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.

On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life—lessons that would help change themselves—and the world—for the better.

Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.

"Powerful." —USA Today

"Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." —Washington Post
