Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life

Ten lessons from Navy SEAL training form the spine of William H. McRaven's short book on discipline, persistence and starting the day with one finished task. The book grew out of a university commencement address and keeps that shape: brief chapters, each built around a single rule drawn from military experience and then applied to ordinary difficulty. Its argument is that small, repeatable standards hold steady when larger things go wrong, and the writing stays plain and anecdotal rather than technical. Why it stays in print: • Ten concise chapters, each organised around one practical rule • Anecdotes from military training used to illustrate everyday habits • A short read that suits a single sitting or a week of mornings • Plain language with no jargon and no programme to sign up for A fit for students, graduates and readers who prefer brief, practical non-fiction, available at Boipoka.
