Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Make Your Bed, written and read by William H. McRaven.
The incredible number one New York Times best seller.
Make your bed to change the world....
'What starts here changes the world' was the university slogan that inspired William H. McRaven to take charge of the small things that could change his life...and even the world. Here McRaven shares the 10 life-changing principles he learned during his 37 years as a Navy SEAL. These 10 philosophies helped him to overcome challenges not only in his career but also throughout his life. What's more anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves, and the world, for the better....
Begin each day with a simple task, help one another through life, respect everyone, know that your life won't be fair and that you will fail often, take risks, step up when times are tough, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden and never, ever give up.
Do these things, and we will live in a far better world than the one before it....
Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple and universal wisdom, practical advice and words of encouragement that will inspire listeners to achieve more even in life's darkest moments.

Decent easy listen
If your looking for some simple navy seal do this don’t do that guidance it does what it says on the tin.
I finished it feeling like I listened to someone’s story but not pivoted to move forward myself.
A nice voice to listen to & an amazingly accomplished man& for that I’m glad I gave it my time

Very inspirational
Not too long, not too short. It served to reveal to me that the Navy Seals are nothing short of incredibly brave, tough, resilient and remarkable men. Hearing about the gruelling training and tasks they have to undergo encourages one to try harder in life, even when it comes to the little things. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this and would recommend this book.
