Inspiring, Inspiring, Inspiring!!

I loved everything about this short but sweet inspirational message. I will pass this book on to my family and friends big & small. We all can use a little nudge or push sometimes to reach and achieve our goals and for me this tiny jewel of a read is a place to get it!

Fantastic for Kids of All Ages!!

Marvelous book!! I was thrilled to see this book in a kid’s version. I enjoy all Admiral McRaven’s books and will be adding this to my new grandson’s collection. Thank you for inspiring strength and leadership Sir.

A great book

A really fantastic book that is really well illustrated. It was incredibly relatable and I highly recommend this book.

The Admiral Can Write In Rhythm

Oh this was wonderful to hear what lessons the Admiral seeks to give his grandchildren and other children. I loved it and l can’t wait to gift it to kids of my friends.
I am so glad the Admiral had his college degree in Journalism. I’m pretty sure that’s why his work in Washington and other locals were good because he could write a good report or convey his thoughts, ideas and strategies so well.
Were my comments of help?

Nice book for kids but

I loved the content but thought adding the necessary credits to the recording took away from the pleasure of listening to the content.
Maybe would be better to separate the book content from the credits part so it stops playing once the book is finished by saying : the end and after a gap of silence a different voice than the admiral reads the credits. This way admirals voice will not go from sincere and narrative to commercial and advertised all in a row. I was enjoying the book part and then I got annoying that the book is finished it continued on to reading the credentials with the same tone and voice and turn the whole thing into a commercial propaganda. This Recording has a potential for improvement in my opinion.
Just so I’ve done my part of constructive criticism. I’m still buying the book version and send it to my niece and nephew. I’m not sure I want to share the Audible version. Best of wishes to the admiral. His children should be happy to have him as a father.
