Based on a Navy SEAL’s inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life 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; 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.
“Powerful.” –USA Today

“Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault.” –Washington Post

    An excellent book everyone should read!
    While browsing YouTube one day, I came across Admiral William H. McRaven’s remarkable commencement address from 2014 at the University of Texas at Austin. Having taught at the university level for nearly 50 years, I have listened to many graduation speeches, but this one stood out as one of the most influential and eloquent I have ever heard. After learning more about him, I discovered he had written a book titled “Make Your Bed,” so I decided to buy a copy. In this book, which includes his motivational speech at the end, Admiral McRaven presents ten principles that serve as a roadmap for leading a productive life while facing and overcoming life’s many challenges.Each short chapter in this book tells a story illustrating a specific characteristic or life trait the author aims to instill in the reader. The author draws on examples from his 37 years as a Navy SEAL, particularly his six months of intensive training at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in California, to describe how he learned and applied these principles throughout his naval career. To dispel the notion that one must serve in the armed forces to benefit from these principles, Admiral McRaven emphasizes, “I have a few suggestions that may help you on your way to a better world. While these lessons were learned during my time in the military, I assure you it matters not whether you ever served a day in uniform.”This short book is powerful and thought-provoking. It was written by someone who has navigated many challenges in life, consistently finding ways to overcome obstacles and move forward. It’s a book you can keep close and return to often. You may find yourself reading specific chapters whenever you seek inspiration or guidance. My copy always remains on my desk.In summary, this book is one that everyone should buy and read. The world would be a better place if everyone lived by the standards and guidance offered in this book.

    “Make Your Bed” è un libro che nasce dal celebre discorso dell’Ammiraglio McRaven, diventato virale sui social grazie al suo messaggio potente e ispirante. Quello che in un primo momento sembrava essere un semplice consiglio su come affrontare le sfide della vita, si trasforma in una riflessione profonda sulla disciplina, la resilienza e il potere dei piccoli gesti quotidiani.Il libro è un concentrato di motivazione, scritto in un linguaggio semplice e diretto, che rende le sue lezioni accessibili a tutti, anche a chi non ha una formazione militare o esperienze di vita particolarmente dure. La sua scrittura lineare e chiara, in particolare in questa versione originale in inglese, permette di entrare subito nel vivo dei concetti senza ostacoli linguistici. La lettura è fluida e stimolante, con un ritmo che spinge a proseguire, pagina dopo pagina.L’autore, attraverso le sue esperienze personali, racconta come piccoli cambiamenti nella nostra routine quotidiana possano avere un impatto enorme sul miglioramento della nostra vita. Un esempio pratico e simbolico è il semplice atto di rifare il letto ogni mattina, un gesto che può sembrare insignificante, ma che, secondo l’autore, incarna il principio fondamentale di iniziare la giornata con un’azione positiva e sotto il nostro controllo. Ogni capitolo si arricchisce di aneddoti ed esperienze che offrono lezioni di vita universali, applicabili a chiunque voglia migliorare se stesso, affrontare le difficoltà e crescere come persona.Il punto di forza del libro sta proprio nella sua capacità di rendere le lezioni di vita più profonde facilmente comprensibili e applicabili. Non offre soluzioni miracolose, ma piuttosto suggerisce una serie di atteggiamenti e azioni quotidiane che, se adottati con costanza, possono portare a un cambiamento significativo. Non importa quanto difficile possa sembrare un compito, ogni piccolo passo verso il miglioramento personale è un successo.”Make Your Bed” è un libro che va letto tutto d’un fiato, ma che soprattutto invita a riflettere e ad agire. Consigliatissimo!
