One of those "inspirational" or self-help books that come out from time to time. I heard the author interviewed, and wanted to read his book. It's a quick read. Each chapter has advise for life, starting out with: "Make your bed." Because when you start out accomplishing something at the start of every day, you are more likely to do more. I had to get the book back to the library or I would have made a succinct list, but other are: "Embrace your failures, because every life has them." "Life isn'...
This is NOT a book on how to make your beds. "Start Your Day with a Task Complete" MAKE YOUR BED is one of those strange titles that makes one quickly become curious about what's inside. At least that's what happened with me. Upon noticing this book, I remembered coming across the importance of 'making the bed' in Duhigg's Power of Habit, where he explains how a such a simple task, when complemented with a set of other similarly simple yet consistent tasks, could alter one's behavior through t...
“It is easy to blame your lot in life on some outside force, to stop trying because you believe fate is against you. It is easy to think that where you were raised, how your parents treated you, or what school you went to is all that determines your future. Nothing could be further from the truth. The common people and the great men and women are all defined by how they deal with life’s unfairness: Helen Keller, Nelson Mandela, Stephen Hawking, Malala Yousafzai, and—Moki Martin. Sometimes no mat...
I don't know why I requested this book, I thought maybe it'll inspire me to make my bed or inspire me to accomplish stuff.I should have checked the blurb and the author. Thank goodness it was a very short book. The author is an admiral, former SEAL, etc - I would like to say that these accolades impress me, but that would be a lie. After reading the preface, I remembered seeing his commencement speech given at some American university. While it makes sense to make your bed if anything to start y...
The book doesn’t contain any tip that would improve your life quality. I would only recommend this to the ones who are currently in a rut and are seeking motivation...On second thought, the YouTube video does a better job as a motivation. So I guess I don’t recommend this book to anyone at all. Just watch the YouTube video instead!Video title: University of texas at austin 2014 commencement address - admiral william h. Mcraven
"If you cannot do the simple things right, then you can never do the big things right"Simple, short, clear, refreshing and straight forward! No Jargons, No timepass :) A highly recommended read for everyone. And, it all starts with making your bed.Thank you, General McRaven!
5 well earned stars for this motivational story of Admiral William H. McRavens journey to becoming a navy seal. This book was written and narrated in 2017 by the Admiral himself. The book also includes his famous commencement speech, which took place on May 21st, 2014, for the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin.Admiral McRaven speaks of 10 steps to follow "if you want to change your life or maybe the world."I won't list the steps here however, I will say that I was very 'taken...
Admiral William H. McRaven’s book, Make Your Bed- Little Things That Can Change Your Life… And Maybe The World is another one of those really small self-help books that you can stack on a really small shelf, maybe in your really small tiny-house right between Maria Shriver’s Just Who Will You Be? And Randy Pausch’s The Last Lecture. The retired Admiral’s book of levelheaded insights was originally a commencement speech to the graduating class of the University of Texas in 2014. These common sens...
