Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World

Bought this as a Christmas present for someone who was having a really hard time in life. Not sure if he ever read it but I really liked the authors original speech. I've heard amazing things about this book so I'm considering buying it again.

This book was so amazingly inspirational and insightful! I'm very grateful that I read it. The words of this book and the advice of the author were just what I needed at just the right time. I think everyone should read this book. I do believe that if we all took William McRaven's words to heart and followed his advice we could in fact change the world for the better.

I have bought several of these for graduation gifts. I can't think of anything better for a young man, or woman, to read this wonderful book full of insights. I loved it and the recent graduate really loved it too.

A short book that delivers life lessons from Navy SEAL training. Some ideas truly stick—simple, actionable, and powerful. Others feel familiar or surface-level. Still, a good peek into SEAL mindset and discipline.Rating: 4/5 — Some ideas are great, some just okay, but overall, a worthwhile and motivating read.

In 2023, I was in a book writing masterclass and I raised my virtual hand when the question was asked who has a topic. The first point I made in my topic was the task of making your bed. It makes a world of difference in a mindset shift. Two year later finding this book as I am preparing for another shift really hit home. This was a short yet powerful impacting read.

This remarkable read lets you in on why the little things are most important. Dive into the life of a navy seal and understand why Making Your Bed can change your whole mood.

During my 24 year career as a Naval Aviator I had my share of failures, more so from what I didn’t do than for what I did wrong. I hit the glass ceiling at rank 0-5. This was a tough pill to swallow, so the last 5 years demanded a lot of courage as I served in dead end obscure positions. I never gave up or lost hope. This has paid off handsomely in the form of free health services as I approach age 92.

Great book on of my favorites
