Make Your Bed – William H. McRaven

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

That simple piece of advice opened the commencement address that Admiral William H. McRaven delivered at the University of Texas at Austin in 2014. Drawing on lessons from his Navy SEAL training, the speech went viral and was viewed by millions of people around the world. In Make Your Bed, McRaven expands on the ten principles he shared that day.

Each chapter tells a story from his decades of military service, from the grueling days of SEAL training in Coronado, California, to missions and command decisions around the globe, and distills it into a practical lesson for everyday life. You will learn why small tasks done well lead to greater accomplishments, why you can’t go it alone, why respect matters more than appearances, how to keep moving forward when you fail, why you sometimes have to slide down the obstacle head first, and why you must never, ever quit.

McRaven writes with humility and warmth, sharing his own mistakes alongside the extraordinary courage of the men and women he served with.

Direct, heartfelt and easy to read in a single sitting, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World is a perfect gift for graduates and for anyone facing a challenge who needs a reminder that small, disciplined habits can lead to big changes.
