On the contrary, McRaven uses the example of making the bed, to begin an interesting series of events a soldier is expected to master during his field training. However, the author of this book does not explore such a complex phenomenon.
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 the day. MAKE YOUR BED is one of those strange titles that makes one quickly become curious about what's inside. This is NOT a book on how to make your beds. 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. 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. 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.Īdmiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day.
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
