Why 'Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World' is a Must-Read
Make Your Bed – The Power of Small Victories Admiral William H. McRaven's Make Your Bed is a concise, powerful, and deeply moving book that proves that the path to changing the world begins with changing yourself. Based on his viral commencement speech, McRaven shares ten simple, yet profound, life lessons he learned during his grueling Navy SEAL training. The first and most foundational lesson is the title itself: Make Your Bed. This simple act of discipline, he argues, sets the tone for the day, gives you a small sense of pride, and reinforces the idea that little things matter. Each chapter is dedicated to a lesson, illustrated with vivid, often harrowing, anecdotes from his time in the military. Lessons range from the importance of finding someone to help you paddle (you can't do it alone) to never, ever quitting. The book is a testament to the power of perseverance, teamwork, and the courage to face life's "sugar cookies" (punishments) head-on. Make Your Bed is a quick, impactful read that offers a clear, actionable framework for building resilience, overcoming adversity, and finding the strength to inspire others.
