Life lessons - Basic Training read

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2023

Excellent book (as are his others) with applicable life truths. Provided this book to my son in Army Basic Combat training since they were only allowed to read military books. He loved it and we had great conversations over each truth in the book.

Found this book interesting and informative. Enjoyed the examples the Admiral gave to illustrate his points. Grateful for what the dedicated men and women of the military have done and continue to do for our nation and it’s citizens.

Reminds me of the most important things that are often forgotten. Shows that the little things count the most-be strong and work up to your best.

I thoroughly loved this book and found so many valuable teaching tools in it. This book is short yet profound, and I encourage educators to use this in their classrooms.

This book was profound, yet brief! I loved all of the stories and examples of the best humanity has to offer in our heroes and the code we should all aspire to uphold.
My favorite closing line was, "Being a hero is a learned experience."
Thank you, Admiral McRaven!

The Hero Code is a short but accurate synopsis of the qualities so often found in men and women we consider hero’s. Admiral McRaven picked amazingly wonderful and appropriate stories to illustrate his points. I blazed through this very quickly in a single sitting. It offers guidance for every individual young and old to help make our world a better place.

Admiral McRaven has once again brilliantly written a book covering life lessons from his decades in service. Mandatory reading for anyone looking for short, easily digestible stories, how to invoke the "hero" in all of us, and inspiration on humanity.

The book was scuffed upon arrival

This book was just loosely sliding around in a cardboard box and scuffed up the book really bad. I'm kind of bummed to have paid for a new book and have it arrive in poor condition.
