Customer Reviews

Not my type of book but it was okay

I do not read self help books because I prefer to escape through fantasy or science fiction. But I was given the chance to read this and so I gave it a shot. First off, I do not like the title of this book. To me, it seems very depressing and was an immediate turn off. I kept going though and I did find some interesting bits. The author must be superman, as well as most of the other SEAL guys that he worked with, always saving the world and getting people to work together for a better future. The self help/motivational bits were okay. I did see some good bits about going for the tougher path and not just staying in your comfortable zone, adapting to circumstances, and finding out what's important to you and going for it. It was pretty motivational. I preferred the memoir/ story more though. I think that is what the author should have stuck with, instead for trying to make it a self help book.

Practical, meaningful and motivating

Thank you to Celadon Books for an advanced reading copy of Never Enough. Mike Hayes has had a career of service and leadership. He is a Navy SEAL, has worked in the White House, and in business. In this book, he describes his experiences as a Navy SEAL to illustrate principles of self improvement, flexibility, compassion, meaning and leadership. The author has a humble, concise, direct and honest tone. His stories are fascinating. The lessons learned from his experiences whether they were successes or failures, can be applied to the personal and professional life of anyone, not just those in the military. The value of a life lived in service to others is emphasized. Never Enough should be read by anyone in leadership, business, medicine, HR, education or government. It should be mandatory reading for those considering military service. In conclusion, anyone can enjoy Mike Hayes' experiences and benefit from his wisdom. #ReadNeverEnough #CeladonReads #partner @CeladonBooks
