After some months i was looking on a books website and i saw this book and i had to buy it because i was impressed by the video.


According to the Google`s Books – „Struggling to find structure in your life? Finding yourself lacking motivation?

Start by making your bed. In 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas, in a video which immediately went viral.


He shared the 10 life lessons he had learned during his Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his long Naval career, but also throughout his life.


In Make Your Bed, he builds on these principles by sharing inspiring tales from his own life and those around him in the military, explaining how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves for the better.

Maintaining routine and structure is more important than ever in the age of home working, flexi-time and the general busyiness of life. Learn exactly how to master the essential daily habits that will ensure your mind stays both calm and ready for the day ahead.


Written with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple and universal wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve.

I think this is an inspirational book for everybody at every age, but particularly for young people who are at beginning of their career and try their best but sometimes the life is rough and full of struggles.
