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

This book was so amazingly inspirational and insightful! I'm very grateful that I read it. The words of this book and the advice of the author were just what I needed at just the right time. I think everyone should read this book. I do believe that if we all took William McRaven's words to heart and followed his advice we could in fact change the world for the better.

In 2023, I was in a book writing masterclass and I raised my virtual hand when the question was asked who has a topic. The first point I made in my topic was the task of making your bed. It makes a world of difference in a mindset shift. Two year later finding this book as I am preparing for another shift really hit home. This was a short yet powerful impacting read.

This remarkable read lets you in on why the little things are most important. Dive into the life of a navy seal and understand why Making Your Bed can change your whole mood.

It’s great book! So inspiring and an easy read. My goal for 2025 was to read more and this was the first one! You won’t be disappointed!

During my 24 year career as a Naval Aviator I had my share of failures, more so from what I didn’t do than for what I did wrong. I hit the glass ceiling at rank 0-5. This was a tough pill to swallow, so the last 5 years demanded a lot of courage as I served in dead end obscure positions. I never gave up or lost hope. This has paid off handsomely in the form of free health services as I approach age 92.

A simple book with a positive message on how to succeed and the worthy objective of leaving this planet a little better for having been here. I had the privilege of listening to Admiral McRaven address my son’s class at his Naval OCS graduation and commissioning more than a decade past. His advice to “make your bed” and more to that and other groups has been a good memory I’ve carried since and one I recommend to all, but especially to the next rank of young people about to embark on their life adventure.

A simple to follow story from an amazing war fighter. Major motivation to anyone who's ever served.

This is a very quick but inspiring read. I particularly enjoyed the section on hope. More great wisdom from the seals
