Why I'd hand it to you

Admiral William McRaven expanded his commencement speech at the University of Texas into this short book of ten lessons from his Navy SEAL training and career, like making your bed every morning, finding people to help you and never giving up. Each chapter is a quick story with a clear point. It is a popular graduation gift. Know that it is very short and simple, so readers looking for depth won't find much new. The lessons are familiar. For a young person starting out, or anyone needing a quick boost of discipline, it delivers exactly what it promises.
