Straight talk from a former Navy SEAL

There are many "self-help" books on the market that contain solid information. However, General McRaven's Make Your Bed comes across as refreshingly different from those books by well known self-help gurus like Dr. Phil or Tony Robbins mainly because the anecdotes he uses to illustrate his ten key points are gleaned from his experiences as a Navy SEAL. I read this little book in one sitting and plan to buy copies for my children. In a nutshell, McRaven says that life is tough, but meeting challenges with discipline, determination, a positive attitude and the support of others will most often lead an individual to a meaningful life that will inspire others.

Buster I haven't found the book yet, but I now make my bed every day, and that simple act gets me thinking the right way, ie what must I do today, what are my priorities and goals.

I saw the author on Fox, and took his words to heart.

Added bonus: when it's time for bed, there's a nice tidy bed to climb into.
