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.

Incredible book
One of the best books I've read in ages. Would highly recommend. Particularly to my generation (18-30s) who complain about everything and think they're life is just sooooo hard. If only everyone had this guys mindset; the world would 100% be a better place.

He has a cool voice
Admiral McRaven (retd) takes you on what I would describe as a journey. He shows you how you find courage within yourself and the stories are both moving and eye opening. Ever since I heard this mans speech I have made my bed every morning and taken more pride in my daily life, sometimes it only takes a few words to help change your world.

Brilliant and focussed
This book contains what many have tried in lengthier tomes. Don’t be fooled by its brevity. It is straight to the point and relevant. Brilliantly read.

Thank you sir for your inspirational words.
