Summary
If you want to change the world， start off by making your bed。
In 2014， Admiral William H。 McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas， in a video which has since been watched over 10 million times。
He shared the 10 principles he had learned during his Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his long Naval career， but also throughout his life。 He explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves - and the world - for the better 。 。 。
Building on these principles in this book， McRaven recounts tales from his own life and from people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination， compassion， honour， and courage。
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。

the commencement speech was sufficient， there was no value in making this a book。 It does not add significant value， and it is not particularly well written。 It is delivered in the same style as the speech it was based on。

Inspiring in its simplicityPlan to buy a stack for teenagers and young adults in my life。 I feel very fortunate to have learned a few of these lessons and those learnings are what helped me acheive personal and professional success。 I really like the advice about helping each ， lifting each other up--we need more of that in the world today

A tiny book that can be read in one sitting。 In a word， his 10 lessons about changing the world amount to perseverance - never give up， depend on others， work as a team and take risks in order to succeed。

Se que a muchas personas les gusta， pero a mí realmente se me ha hecho muy pesado y tedioso de leer a pesar de ser pequeño， se me hace muy repetitivo y no me causó mucha inspiración aunque sí admiración。

I give the speech five stars and this book one star so I averaged it out to three。 I wasn't expecting to read a military thriller but the book is barely more detailed than the speech he gave at UT and very repetitive。 I have an immense amount of respect for Admiral McRaven but I wish this book just had。。。more。 I give the speech five stars and this book one star so I averaged it out to three。 I wasn't expecting to read a military thriller but the book is barely more detailed than the speech he gave at UT and very repetitive。 I have an immense amount of respect for Admiral McRaven but I wish this book just had。。。more。 。。。more

Love the Admiral McRaven's speech and motivation。 I recommend the audio book。 I will say that this book is a little repetitive。 He discusses each point and then they replay his speech at the end。 Honestly though it was under 2hours， so who can complain about that。 Love the Admiral McRaven's speech and motivation。 I recommend the audio book。 I will say that this book is a little repetitive。 He discusses each point and then they replay his speech at the end。 Honestly though it was under 2hours， so who can complain about that。 。。。more

Хороша книжечка з життєвими істинами від військового， життя якого сповнене пригод。 Коротко， цікаво， по суті， без води）

Inspirador y retador。。。 Gracias de verdad por haber plasmado vivencias que no solo ayudan a cadetes sino al día a día Estoy en la búsqueda de la creación de buenos hábitos y me pareció apropiado el título， pues fue。 Más allá de lo que pensé， me inspiró y reto a la vez。

Truly a really good book after reading the first chapter I took his advice and made my bed and I felt so good about it。 Then I called a company I’ve been meaning to contact and canceled my membership。 So I really do suggest reading if you want to change your life or even the world。

Short read with some interesting storiesThere are summaries after each chapter， mostly "if you are homeless just buy a house" level。However the message and the stories author uses shows his sincere intentions。 Worth reading。 Short read with some interesting storiesThere are summaries after each chapter， mostly "if you are homeless just buy a house" level。However the message and the stories author uses shows his sincere intentions。 Worth reading。 。。。more

“Make Your Bed” by Admiral William McRaven is a short inspirational book that has a lot of gems。 “If you want to change the world， start off by making your bed。” Highly recommended。

خب اولا که من کلا با این کتابای اینکارا رو بکن موفق میشی که مشکل دارم این به کنار و دلیل کم شدن اولین ستاره。دوما برخلاف بسیاری از افرادی که به این فرد به خاطر american hero بودن احترام میذارن، من احترام زیادی براش قائل نیستم به خصوص به خاطر تحریف واقعیتای تاریخیش。سوما خیلی دوست دارم نظرات این فرد رو در مورد زندگی مثلا اون ویتنامیهایی که تو جنگ کشته شدن هم بدونم。 به اونا هم میتونه بگه که پاشو تختخوابتو مرتب کن。قسمتی که خاطرات تمریناتشم تعریف میکرد برای من هیچ جذابیتی نداشت。 بعلاوه قیمت کتابی که خب اولا که من کلا با این کتابای اینکارا رو بکن موفق میشی که مشکل دارم این به کنار و دلیل کم شدن اولین ستاره。دوما برخلاف بسیاری از افرادی که به این فرد به خاطر american hero بودن احترام میذارن، من احترام زیادی براش قائل نیستم به خصوص به خاطر تحریف واقعیتای تاریخیش。سوما خیلی دوست دارم نظرات این فرد رو در مورد زندگی مثلا اون ویتنامیهایی که تو جنگ کشته شدن هم بدونم。 به اونا هم میتونه بگه که پاشو تختخوابتو مرتب کن。قسمتی که خاطرات تمریناتشم تعریف میکرد برای من هیچ جذابیتی نداشت。 بعلاوه قیمت کتابی که من خوندم ۳۲ هزارتومن برای ۸۰ صفحه کتاب بود که خیلییی گرونه حتی الان。 همین یک ستاره رو هم دادم چون نمیشه صفر ستاره داد 。。。more

Desde que leí el título de este libro pensé que me motivaría a mejorar mis hábitos， a querer ser una mejor persona， etc， etc。。。 Pero， oh gran decepción。。。 No niego que el señor es un gran ejemplo y una persona sumamente exitosa （dentro de su ámbito） sin embargo， no creo que sus experiencias o sus "Reflexiones" o "aprendizajes" sean aplicables para todxs， en todos los escenarios de nuestras vidas。 Además， no aporta "consejos" profundos ni realistas。 Por ejemplo si quieres cambiar al mundo， no to Desde que leí el título de este libro pensé que me motivaría a mejorar mis hábitos， a querer ser una mejor persona， etc， etc。。。 Pero， oh gran decepción。。。 No niego que el señor es un gran ejemplo y una persona sumamente exitosa （dentro de su ámbito） sin embargo， no creo que sus experiencias o sus "Reflexiones" o "aprendizajes" sean aplicables para todxs， en todos los escenarios de nuestras vidas。 Además， no aporta "consejos" profundos ni realistas。 Por ejemplo si quieres cambiar al mundo， no toques la campana。 Perdona， ¿qué？ Ok， una vez leído el libro， esto se traduce en， "Si quieres cambiar al mundo， no te rindas" Ya。 Eso es todo。 Considero que es algo que TODO MUNDO sabe。 Así que。。。 ¿Cuál es la enseñanza？ ¿Qué es lo nuevo de este libro？ Sus metáforas son taaaaan en el lenguaje "seal" que cuesta adaptarlos a la vida real， a un contexto distinto。 Definitivamente este se convertirá en uno de esos libros que en muy poco tiempo olvidaré。 。。。more

Wow this book was a really great book to read。 I had it finished in less than 2 hours。 Each chapter really makes you think about life。 I highly recommend it。 I am thinking this book will make great gifts。

Es un buen libro pero es más sobre motivación que sobre hábitos。 Todo el libro se puede resumir en el discurso。

A nice reminder that the human spirit is powerful and influential。 I didn’t connect with the military platform so much， but I did find the stories to be interesting。 Seemed like there were some repeated messages that became a bit redundant。

Sorry but worst book I've read for 2021。 Good thing the book is short。 Unrelatable anecdotes and the tips that can change your life？ Well， they're so generic and so cliche。 I have a lot of respect for the author but the book did not deliver what it promised Sorry but worst book I've read for 2021。 Good thing the book is short。 Unrelatable anecdotes and the tips that can change your life？ Well， they're so generic and so cliche。 I have a lot of respect for the author but the book did not deliver what it promised 。。。more

I throughly enjoyed it！ I loved that the author took personal life moments and thoughts to guid readers on the mindset to success。 I also enjoyed how this book had lots of one-liner type takeaways。 I use them when I talk to others about discipline and achievement。

این کتاب خوبه ولی عالی نیست تمام چیز هایی که در طول کتاب گفته میشه به صورت خلاصه در بخش پایانی هست و رویه خاصی رو آموزش نمیده که افراد بتونند استفاده کنند بیشتر جنبه انگیزشی در سطح پایین رو داره حقیقتا بعد از خوند این کتاب نمیتونم بگم وای چه مطالبی داشت و باید به یه خب خشک و خالی بسنده کنم
