From the bestselling author of Make Your Bed: a celebration of real-life heroes and lessons on inspiring trust, overcoming barriers and becoming a great leader.

What is it that makes a hero?

In the course of his distinguished career Admiral William H. McRaven has met some truly exceptional people, from the men and women he served alongside in the Navy SEALS, to inspiring doctors, scientists, politicians and philanthropists. Drawing on stories of their incredible compassion, humility, courage and capacity for hope, Admiral McRaven has distilled the Hero Code - the ten lessons that make ordinary people capable of extraordinary things.

This book will show how we can all persevere to rise above our failures, use humour as a source of strength and inspire trust through integrity, as well as offering practical advice on rising to the occasion and becoming our best selves.

The result is a heartfelt tribute to real heroes and the perfect guide for anyone wanting to overcome barriers, lead by example or reach for their ultimate dream.

The Admiral imparts some very astute knowledge in this small book. Well worth the credit, and I will be buying a copy for my Son and friends. Don't let the title put you off.

A short punchy book, worth the read.

This is a valuable book that must be read by anyone wanting to implement changes into their lives in order to become better men and women. Thank you for writing this book and for sharing these stories, Admiral McRaven.

My only issue with the book is that there is a small technical issue in Chapter 5 under Compassion at timecode 08:05 until the end of the chapter. You cannot hear the narration.

Regardless, it was a fantastic book with clear audio in all other chapters.

A highly valuable book that is a must listen
