While the
title might imply war, the book is really about life. This book is about the choices we make, the
commitments we take on, and the interaction between others we have. These things make up who we are and how we
live. The author, Chief Petty Officer
(Ret.), explains many of the methods and training that goes into developing a Navy
Seal. Not everyone is physically or
mentally able to pass the high demands needed for this elite group but we all
can learn something from their training.
The author has design the book into short workable chapters that each chapter
focuses on a specific topic. If we could
adapt this method of thinking, improve our communication and apply this to the many
issues surrounding today’s businesses and our personal lives, we would see
rapid improvements. Focusing as a team,
working towards common goals and being accountable for our actions drive many
of the outcomes that we experience. We
can sit back and accept what is going on or you can do as the Navy Seals does
and plan, prepare, work as a team, and drive towards the mission at hand. A small book but full of some of the best
advise you will ever see in writing.
I received a free copy of this book from WaterBrook Multnomah in
exchange for my honest review of the book.
