Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments. "Powerful." --USA Today "Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." --Washington Post "Superb, smart, and succinct." --Forbes
Deresiewicz takes a sharp look at the high-pressure conveyor belt that begins with demands for perfect grades and culminates in the skewed applications received by college admissions committees. Students are losing the ability to think independently. College is supposed to be a time for self-discovery-- but the system is broken, and he offers solutions on how to fix it.
Excerpt from Speech of Gen. A. J. Hamilton of Texas: At the War Meeting at Faneuil Hall, Saturday Evening, April 18, 1863 Occurred in the National Congress, upon this slavery question, happened in 1820, on the application of Missouri to be taken into the Union as one of the States. She had provided for the existence of slavery in her constitution, and there were those in Congress who did not believe, as the fathers of the government did not believe, that it was a good institution. They believed that the framers of the Constitution, while they permitted the existence of slavery, still did it in such form, and under such circumstances, that those who attempted to follow the lead of the great men engaged in that work might well be justified, under the Constitution and in their own consciences, in resisting any further spread of the institution of slavery. But, it was insisted on the other hand, that Missouri had a right to admission, without reference to that feature in her constitution. It was said, that provision had been made in the Federal Constitution for the introduction of new States. It was replied, that that was true, but there was a condition annexed to that exercise of power by Congress, and that was, that the form of government of the States seeking admission must be Republican, and it was not strictly Republican if the institution of slavery was provided for. To that it was replied, that the argument could not be sound, because States had been admitted with the institution of slavery since the adoption of the Federal Constitution.
