Original book summary overview 

In their book, Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALs Lead and Win, Willink and Babin use combat experiences and lessons from the SEAL involvement in the Battle of Ramadi to show how leadership skills are learned, harnessed, and employed in battle and, by extension, beyond military uses including business, negotiations, and personal growth and development.  

This is a great book for the person with a sheer fascination for how some of the best combat teams in the US security forces fight and win dangerous and impossible battles and missions, but more so for the person who wants to know how lessons from the military procedures can be applied to business and personal growth, as well as in leadership.
