The moment i saw the title of this book, i dropped what I was reading to pick this up. Ownership is my favourite value and the book didn't disappoint. The book shares several leadership principles by two navy SEALs who saved in Iraq. They share stories, then the principle and go into a live business case. The secret sauce: At the end of the day whatever natural talents you are born with, if you display extreme ownership, you can succeed as a leader

It is all about leadership skills and extreme ownership. Explained in detail each skill with real war stories and connecting to business application. To connect well with war stories, you can first watch movies like American sniper then read the book. Appendix Jocko podcast leadership Questions & Answers and must read!

Must have book, make your teen kids read it. Discipline and ownership…. Jocko Willink is awesome….. I stopped listening to music after reading this book….. I put on my AirPods and just listen to Jocko’s podcast… I am on episode 30 right now….long way to go but will listen to every episode. My 4 hour drive to work and back home are rightly utilized now. WAKE UP EARLY / BE HUMBLE / GET AFTER IT… Love you Jocko!!!

"War Memorial" with life lessons ! What I liked about the book ? 1. War stories 2. Simple principles in every chapter 3. Easy read 4. Blunt style of Jocko What i did not like ? 1. Too many military or technical terms (apart from those terms rest of the book is easy read) 2. Not exactly a self help book. It is especially made for people who like war tactics or war stories as every chapter starts with a story involving Jocko or Leif - 90% of the chapter is covered with war stories and 5% with lesson learned from that story and 5% with application of that lesson to business. 3. Book becomes boring after reading two three chapters. So I skipped all the stories and read just the "lesson" and its business application. :D Conclusion Not exactly a self help book. It provides less principles. You will again more by listening to Jocko podcast. I was expecting something exceptional but book turns out to be just "good" not great. Give it a try, you will learn something different but not much.
