For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

The Millionaire Booklet was created for you to keep close to you until you become a millionaire. The eight steps Grant lays out are in a very simple-to-understand language that will allow you to get started today in creating the money you deserve. Let's face it, your parents didn't teach you how to get rich and the schools and colleges don't even talk about it. At a time when more and more people are slipping out of the middle class into poverty, more people are becoming rich.

Tough Guys Teach Hard Lessons

If you could sum up Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin | Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review in three words, what would they be?

Gritty authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's voices alone would be intimidating if their message wasn't so on pointe. Excellent book on leadership told in an engaging way. With real world examples both on the battlefield and in business, this book was a refreshing and unexpected way at creative solutions for life's and business problems.

good basic summary

good basic overview of the book with the points of leadership but nothing entertaining like the stories or anything else which would generally be the reason a person would buy the book if you're interested in this at all you should definitely purchase the full book it's worth the extra 10 bucks or so

You should listen to audible before you do an overview

At the very least you should get the names of Important People and Places correct.

Key Takeaways

I appreciate the organization of the narrative. This makes the entire book more understandable as it drops the military language and jargon. While I found the military scenarios engaging I needed the meat of the examples for knowledge and application. This book does that for me. Useful and immediately applicable. Recommended for all leaders new, Old or wannabe.
