by Admiral William H. McRaven
On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin. Drawing inspiration from the university’s motto, “What starts here changes the world,” he shared ten principles learned during Navy SEAL training—lessons that helped him overcome challenges in his military career and life, and that can help anyone achieve more and make a difference. McRaven’s original speech went viral with over 10 million views. In this book, he expands on those lessons with stories from his life and military service, offering simple wisdom, practical advice, and encouragement for facing even life’s toughest moments.
