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

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. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple and universal wisdom, practical advice and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.
