Customer Reviews

Fabulous, wonderful, great!!!

This is a small gift book and a fast read but don’t let fool you, it is fabulous and truly motivating. I re-read it every few months just because it’s that good. I can’t think of anyone that couldn’t be helped by this book. Highly, highly recommend.

Make Your Bed is the First Step

In an age of entitled, hot-house children who truly are adrift in today's society, the author gives suggestions as well as the reason why to apply the suggestion for a calmer, more directed life. Many topics were broached by my mom - a WWII woman Marine - and it was about values, ethics, kindness, using your brain, and challenging yourself at times. If you're adrift and wish to get back on track, raise better children, improve your friendship skills, THINK about your actions, read this book. It's never too late or too early to turn over a new leaf, refresh your view on Life, and move forward confidently in the direction of your dreams. READ IT.

Also a very good book

I like this book , I wish it was longer though . But , I still learned a lot from it .

Excellent book to guide through life.

Nicely written anecdotal synopsis of Seal training and how it translates to every one's life.
