Book Review: Make Your Bed

Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World by: William H. McRaven:

Goodreads Summary:
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better.

Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.

My Review:
5/5 Stars
Okay, so I know the main point of this book isn't to actually just make your bed everyday, but honestly it has made me start doing so. McRaven would give an example from his time in the Navy and apply it to everyday life. It's another self improvement book about how little things add up to the big things. His examples make the "little things" seem pretty big when we are discussing the Navy, but the way he simplifies it down to my mellow and unexciting life the changes I have made truly are minuscule. It's a super quick and easy read.
