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; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to 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 who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. 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.

Make Your Bed Little Things That Can Change Your LifeAnd Maybe the World William H McRaven 9781455570249 Books Reviews
- There are many "self-help" books on the market that contain solid information. However, General McRaven's Make Your Bed comes across as refreshingly different from those books by well known self-help gurus like Dr. Phil or Tony Robbins mainly because the anecdotes he uses to illustrate his ten key points are gleaned from his experiences as a Navy SEAL. I read this little book in one sitting and plan to buy copies for my children. In a nutshell, McRaven says that life is tough, but meeting challenges with discipline, determination, a positive attitude and the support of others will most often lead an individual to a meaningful life that will inspire others.
- Excellent. Gave it to my 11 year old grandson, he read it in 4 days annd played back the message of never giving up when you encounter a tough situation and the importance of teamwork
- As an eighth grade teacher I see children everyday who never take a risk, who don't know how to work properly on teams, and stay down after an ounce of bad news or criticism. I wish I could buy 150 copies for each student I teach.
- I got this as a kindle book and starting reading it before hitting the sack. I read the entire book straight through, underlining my favorite passages, and it is so well written! Lots of simple but sage advice and this book will be on my annual re-read list. Great advice from a great hero!!
- This book is an excellent short read, full of great life lessons for anyone. Although the examples are from a military life, it is not a military book. I will gladly recommend this book to all of my kids and fourteen grand kids !
- I saw the author on Fox news, and was intrigued. I am certainly not SEAL tough, never was, but anyone can incorporate this into his life. If you are slightly better today than yesterday, and slightly better tomorrow than today, your life will be more meaningful and impactful. I will be purchasing additional copies as gifts.
- Outstanding book! Easy, enjoyable read intertwined with important reminders about life. Adm. McRaven uses his time in Naval Special Warfare to background these life lessons, but, doesn't use his service as a SEAL as a self promotion tool.
- A respectful, thought provoking book which should be required reading for all adults, and maybe reread a couple of times at different stages in a person's life. It gives purpose and direction. What a very fortunate graduating class to have begun life hearing from Admiral McRaven.
