*Admiral William McRaven belongs to the US military elite, a Four-Star Admiral who was tasked with some of the country’s most crucial missions.

*He hopes his true stories of perseverance, determination, and valor against all odds during his time as a United States Navy SEAL will inspire others to overcome their own challenges.

*McRaven came face to face with high-profile war criminals such as Saddam Hussein, and inevitably lost friends and brothers-in-arms in the line of duty.

*Through his strict principles of self-discipline, grit, and a stubborn refusal to quit, McRaven advanced and succeeded. His stories encourage us to keep going no matter what and find new power in ourselves.
