Admiral McRaven has met some truly extraordinary people throughout his career, from the men and women he had the privilege to serve with, to other heroes such as doctors, scientists, politicians and philanthropists. This book is a celebration of their character - their determination, kindness, humility and integrity - as well as a guide to how we can all cultivate these traits in small, meaningful ways to make the world a better place.
The book is a heart-warming tribute to the men and women Admiral McRaven has worked with and an inspirational reminder of the greatness we are all capable of. But, on a practical level, it also a valuable resource for anyone aspiring to be a future leader, for those wanting to get others to invest in them and their abilities or for anyone looking for the encouragement to overcome barriers in their life and career.
