From Wimpy to Warrior the Navy SEAL Way: A Novel

By: Jocko Willink, Jon Bozak

Narrated by: Thor Willink, Jocko Willink

This program is read by Thor Willink with the author, Jocko Willink.

Fifth grade was the worst year of Marc’s life. He stunk at gym class, math was too hard for him, the school lunch was horrible, and his class field trip was ruined because he couldn’t swim. But what was most awful thing about fifth grade? Kenny Williamson, the class bully, who calls himself the "King of the Jungle."

When Marc's mother tells him that his Uncle Jake is coming to stay for the whole summer, Marc can't wait. Uncle Jake is a for real, super-cool Navy SEAL. And Uncle Jake has a plan.

He's going to turn Marc into a warrior.

Becoming a warrior isn’t easy. It means a lot of pull ups, sit ups, pushups, squats, swimming, eating right, and studying harder than ever before! Can Marc transform himself into a warrior before school starts in the fall – and finally stand up to the King of the Jungle himself?

The Way of the Warrior Kid is a new audiobook by #1 New York Times-bestselling author and retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink.

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Thor Willink, the author's son, sounds just about Marc's age, and his dad voices the adults. This choice lends a personal note...The audio version has plenty of humor..." -School Library Journal

Excellent!

Not just for kids. This book is written such that the message is simple to learn and can be applied by anyone.

In the corporate world there was a time when writing a mission statement was king of everything, but marketing was behind this message and the message seemed insincere. This book allows anyone, or any team or business, write a code of ethics. This book gives examples of why those codes are important.

I will listen again.

Seriously!

I’m a listener of Jocko on his podcast and have heard him talk several times about this book and thought nah it’s a kids book but today I was like why the heck I’ll listen while I work. I found myself cheering for this at multiple times and just bought all of them to give to my grand kids! Being 44 years I found some inspiration in a “ kids book” that can seriously transfers over to everyone of every age! The fact that it tells kids to get off their ass and work for what they want is a breath of fresh air! Mr Willink if you’re reading this BRAVO and thank you!🇺🇸

spectacular!

I'm 43 years old and I am a warrior kid! immediate life changing... excellent content!

Life changing

Initially I read the book for my children. Each night we would go into the bedroom before bed and I would read a chapter to them. We’d talk about Marks struggles, Jakes influence on his nephew and what my children thought about it and we’d repeat each night. I bought the audiobook so they could hear Thor (What an awesome name) and Jocko speak, to change it up a bit! My children love the book, the guiding principles within it and always prompt me to read more. It’s made an impact. Jocko has had a remarkable influence on me as a man, a father, and how I carry myself as a person in this world. Thank you brother, much respect, my military career may lead me out to San Diego, I’ll be dojo storming for sure to enhance my technique! Echo is the man as well🤙⚡️🌈

A message anyone should hear.

Great listen! Currently sharing with my nephew, with great results. Worth sharing over and over.
