    About this ebook

    Make Your Bed by William H. McRaven | Conversation Starters

    In “Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World”, readers are introduced to some of the author’s strategies for achieving more in life. Each of McRaven’s anecdotes are told from either his perspective or from the perspective of those he served with during his military service. Common themes in the novel are compassion, courage, determination, and honor.

    McRaven’s novel is based on his May 2014 graduation speech at the University of Texas at Austin. The speech went viral, prompting him to retell his story in greater detail for the benefit of readers everywhere. Many readers enjoy “Make Your Bed” for its simplistic take on wisdom, practicality, and the inspiration it sparks for the audience to achieve more in life.
